A bunch of great stories guys thank you for sharing.
Here is mine. Back around 1975( I was 6) my much older cousin gave me his stacks of 1960-66 cards before he died at a very young age of a rare brain disorder. I put them in a drawer at my great grandparents house and never touched them for a little over 10 years because I couldn't have cared less for baseball.
Around 86 my little brother started collecting and I told him about my cards and we went and looked at them. I was amazed at how much the Mantle, Mays, and other cards where worth. Well long story short I found a person playing I liked and fell in love with collecting and baseball. From that day on I have been buying Wade Boggs items and whatever else has looked good to me.
I sold and traded most of the cards my cousin left to me except one beat to heck 66 Mantle that when I got it was mint and it is going nowhere.
