Posted By: <b>shane Leonard</b><p>you see the #311 and automatically think of Mickey Mantle. It is amazing that I can remember card numbers from all the sets that I have made over the years. <br /><br />If I could not fall asleep at night I would sometimes try to list the most popular card that Topps made in order and see how high I could go.<br /><br />Ex. #1 Pafko, #2 55' Williams .......... Some are pretty hard to have a great card, but it is fun to see if I can remember a popular card if not a great card.<br /><br />Shane

Posted By: <b>Andy Cook</b><p>When a tv sportscaster mentions an old time player and you mentally picture his rookie card<br /><br />or <br /><br />If you're watching an old movie, instead of watching the movie, you think of the card sets issued in either the (a) year of production or (b) the year the movie was set in. This is particularly true if you are watching a movie with your wife that she picked out.<br /><br />andy
