My first show. 1980 at age 19. Montclair NJ. Bought big lots of 1955 Topps commons, and scoured through others looking for the minor stars. I'll never forget my next show.Meadowland, NJ. I saw a nice lot of 1960's Mets yearbooks and bought them. I tucked them under my arm. I had a small box to hold my cards. I bought 1955T Aaron, Mays, Williams, Bank, Killebrew, and others I do not remember. I tucked that box under my arm. The box must have slipped away from the yearbooks. A 7 year old girl ran up to me and pulled on my shirt. "Mister, I think you dropped this". I caught her Dad's eye and we shared a nice wink. I droped my 1955 T cards on the floor. Nice kid. Nice Dad.
