During the spring of 1961, after a hearty meal at Mary's Cupboard, a favorite restaurant of my family, located in Winnetka, Illinois, I got restless at the table and walked to the checkout counter to look at their candy. What a beautiful bleacher of taste bud delight. I noticed some wax packs of Topps baseball cards, too. The kids had been talking about them in school. At this time I was 6 1/2 years old.
I walked back to the table, and asked my Mom if I could have some of these baseball cards. She bought me three nickel packs. The cards were all from the first series. I remember Jim Kaat, Lee Walls, the Tigers team card, the AL ERA leaders card, and this guy who played for the Cubs. He looked so young, not much older than my brother. There was this beautiful drawing of a trophy on the card. I especially liked this card---of Ron Santo! Hence, the name of my Net54 moniker, "brian1961". Great topic. ---Brian Powell |
