Back in the 1990's my dad used to set up at the Fort Washington show. In the late 90's or early 2000's he stopped setting up as I was getting older and he started bringing me up with him for the day on Saturday's. I loved seeing all of the old and new cards and memorabilia. My dad would give me $20 or so for the show and I would buy as many cheap auto and jersey cards as I could because vintage cards just seemed too expensive. As we were leaving, I found a 1975 Topps Bob Gibson card in the parking lot next to our car. I could not believe it! A vintage card of a Hall of Famer! I felt like I hit the jackpot. My dad shared in my excitement, even though he knew it wasn't a valuable card. As my collection has grown, shrunk, and grown again, this was one of the cards I made sure that I will never get rid of. I even had is slabbed by PSA just to make sure that it would never get mixed in accidentally with cards I may sell one day.
