One summer in 1966-67 when I was in my early-mid teens, I spent a few summer weeks sorting tons of cards at Goldfadden's house. Cards were all 50s-60s. Commons, semi-stars and stars who would go on to become HOFers. I was nonplussed, as I pretty much already had just about all of them (from Brick and Mortars - for nickels, dimes and quarters - all I ever bought from Goodie at was pre-war, at his store. ADCO). He didn't pay me much at all, but I didn't mind...until out of nowhere up pops #311! Now, the going rate for that card at the time was around $38, and I always wanted it badly (I was a transplanted NYer in LA). That was a lot of money for me. So I didn't even bother to ask. Alas, in hindsight, I'm sure I could have put in on lay-away, but that never occurred to me then.
