Geo. Brett Rookie Card Story...
The only time I've ever been to The National was in 1985 in Anaheim at the Disneyland Hotel. In a box of cards, my brother and I found a 1975 Topps George Brett in a top loader marked "$3". My brother was about 10 and he was pretty geeked about it. I told him he should buy it, as I already had one back at home and I thought it was a really good deal.
He paid for the Brett rookie himself and I bought a 1985 Topps Wax Box and opened up the packs when we got back to the hotel. I remember I pulled a Roger Clemens and a Barry Bonds that I still have in a box somewhere. My brother sold the Brett Rookie along with the rest of his collection for $300 when he went off to college.
