I have an N28 Jack Glasscock that I could never sell. It was my first 19th century card and my dad bought it for me as a birthday present when I was 12 or 13. My dad won't be around forever but that card will and I'll remember the day every time I look at it.
I could also never sell my Miller Huggins T206. It was the first pre-war card I ever bought at a Gloria Rothstein White Plains show when I was 10 or 11. I remember hanging out with Little Ray Kelly, who lived in my town and was a friend of my grandmother's, and him telling me stories about sitting next to Huggins in the dugout. One day my grandmother mentioned to him that I collected old cards and he told me to bring them with me next time. I'll never forget the look on his face when I pulled out that Huggins. I was sure he was expecting to see some Griffey rookies.
