Got interested in baseball cards again back in 1988. Attended my first card show at a high school gym sometime in 1989. Couldn't resist what was a really nice copy of a 1957 Frank Robinson. Paid $350. Had a company close down on me in 1991 and was forced to package the Robinson with 5 other cards (including what I think might have been a 9+ second year Stargell) for $300. Still hurts, especially when I see Frank Robby's that couldn't hold a candle to the one I had selling for 3x what I paid. Oh well.
