Mark EvansI like cards as they seem to be almost the perfect collectible -- picture/artwork of athlete, bio information/stats, easy to handle and display and, perhaps most of all, they remind me of my youthful enthusiasm and innocent excitement in collecting back in the early 60s.
I do have some memorabilia though, including the college basketball jersey of one of my heroes, Bob Dandridge, who played in my home town (Norfolk State) and went on to become the critical addition that allowed the Bullets to achieve their only championship (77-78). I offered the jersey to Bob but he declined, suggesting that he sign it for me instead. Coincidentally, I've arranged to meet with him tomorrow night. My wife, an avid basketball fan, can hardly wait.
Hope to see all in Cleveland.
