Billings Mustangs team signed ball, and Aaron Boone auto card (in front of the Mustangs jersey) bring back memories of my childhood. I got the team signed ball as a present from a Little League coach. The other card is a Joey Votto team card when he played for the Mustangs. But I had moved by 2003. The 1961 Topps Dodgers cards were purchased by my mother. I looked up longingly at her when I was 8/9 y.o. probably saying I would be a good boy for the rest of my life if she bought them. And she did! As for a pre-war card, the Tris Speaker exhibit was the first I ever bought, maybe around 17 y.o. My grandma lived with us in Billings and told me that Speaker was a distant relative - it's true, too. I've been enamored with him ever since. OT, for something recent, I restored a 120 y.o. family heirloom China hutch that belonged to my great-great-grandfather. He and his wife received it as a wedding gift in 1900, in Iowa. This provides more joy and satisfaction than any of my cards because I did it myself.
