Wonderful stories all! Love reading about the journeys we've all been on (often times since childhood).
As a kid, my hero was Dale Murphy and my dad allowed me to spend $27 on his rookie card at a show in Minneapolis at the state fair grounds. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I most certainly still have the card.
Fast forward to July 2023. The only hole I had in my T206 HOF Portrait run was of course the Green Cobby (Wags & Plank are reprints for me). It was on the BST where I finally and somewhat reluctantly pulled the trigger on one in the condition I could "afford". I spent $4,400.00 and don't regret it a bit.
I still haven't landed on my next venture...but I think it will include finding a playing days card for Ruth and Gehrig.
Happy Collecting!
Bill
