Default Best Card Show Memory

Dearborn, Michigan 1987. My daughter and I went to the show to get Gordie Howe's autograph. She had a Red Wings pennant with some autos on it. I had a jersey that had a few sigs on it. We went in and bought our tickets, we were in the 400's. I looked around and the bleachers were full of people waiting for Gordie. No one was walking around the tables. So, we went went around and purchased a few things until we got to the last table on our route. My daughter bought a grab bag for a dollar that had the Domino's pizza 68 Tiger set in it. I am a Post and Jello collector and I looked down and there was a stack of 62 Jello cards for sale. Mays on top for 120.00. 34 cards. I told the dealer that I had 80.00 dollars in my wallet and he said, "I'll take it, you guys are the third people that have bought anything all day. In the stack, Bobby Richardson and Bill Stafford. We then sold our autograph tickets, because she was ready for McDonald's and didn't want to wait 4 hours for the autograph.
