Default With Fathers Day coming up ...

Got me to thinking about my dad. I know I wouldn’t have the collection I have today with out his patience. He never had the collecting bug that I had but it never stopped him from driving me all around to the card shows when I was a kid. I even dragged him to Chicago for the National last year and had to push him around in a wheel chair. I teased him about maybe being the oldest guy at the National. I took him to the Net54 dinner and he had a great time. Even though his health is declining he still wants to go to Cleveland this summer. Hoping some of you share your story about your Dads and the impact they had on your collections. Happy Fathers Day!!

I enjoyed reading that.

Funny, my father pitched in the Astros system (when they were the .45's) but he never had any interest in collecting. He'd tell me stories about guys he'd faced in the minors when I'd be going through cards and he definitely appreciated the guys like Ruth, DiMaggio, Williams, etc....but he never wanted to collect.

One of the coolest things he did have was his minor league contract...I think it was for $300 a month!
