I have mentioned this story before. During the summer of 1971, I was being tutored in Math at a teachers house with other students. A girl there wanted my 1971 Topps Mets team card and offered me an older card for it. I jumped at the deal because I wanted the older card. That card was 1968 Topps Kooseman / Ryan rookie.
Also during the summer of 1973, I traded a 1973 Topps Willie Mays for an entire shopping bag loaded with 1970 Topps cards!
