My mom, sadly gone too soon, always said to me that she didn't want to see the cards out. So I kept them in a drawer, out of site. This would have been the late 60's to very early 70's.
After a bunch of time, they moved across the country, and they packed everything. When I got back into the hobby in the late 80's, they were still in the same shoe boxes I had as a kid. You can imagine I was thrilled, and they are still core to the collection I have built since then.
She did a lot of wonderful things for me, and this was was just another. While she passed in the 90's, she did see how much I enjoyed the same hobby when I returned to it.
