Yesterday I was killing some time at a local antique mall, one big former store divided up into cubicles. There was one cabinet in the back loaded with 1950s Topps and Bowman, all well-worn and way overpriced. Kept walking, and near the front, another cabinet opened up and two teenagers looking through a stack of 1962 Topps with the seller. These kids gathered a number of the Babe Ruth subset, a Frank Robinson and a Roberto Clemente while I stood there watching. An older gentleman and his wife walked up and looked on as well. The man asked the teens, do you guys know about baseball cards, and these players? Answer: yes, we do, and these 1962 cards are in decent condition and reasonably priced. I was never so amazed. At least these two guys, who looked about 14 or so, know about baseball and the cards.
