CW I would love to go shopping in your collection! Great Joe D.

Default It's a sad story in real life

But the 1975-76 Phil Hankinson card always intrigued me

Yes, although i am a Yankee fan, the 1957 Dodgers Sluggers card is so insane looking, so great, I can look at that card forever.

Yes, I have been mesmerized frequently in the course of the 55 years, off and on, I have collected baseball, football, and hockey cards.

It is "just a trading card" some say and even scream, but if it were just that, then why, pray tell, do we even bother having Net54 in the first place?

For me, there's too many to list, but I will name one for each sport mentioned:

football: 1966 Philadelphia Gum Gale Sayers

hockey: 1961-62 Topps Bobby Hull

baseball: 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle

Cheers to all your choices. ----Brian Powell

It's a beater, but it was my first 19th century card (as well as my first $3-figure card). It was found buried inside an old building's foundation, that was being refurbished over 100 years after the card was probably dropped there, by some tobacco smoking contractor, in 1895! That fascinates me, still. Plus, I had always been intrigued by Mr. Duffy's incredible .438 (now .440) single-season BA record, and this being the very next season's card... well, mesmerizing!!

I guess I am not alone in that approximately 75% of us are afflicted.
