The only person in my family (that I know of) who collected baseball cards is my dad. He was born in Boston in 1942, and grew up loving the Red Sox Especially Ted Williams and Sammy White (was he even any good???)

When asked what happened to his collection, he will give you the standard "mom cleaning out the attic response". I've shown him Topps cards from the early 50's, with hopes of triggering memories with no luck.

I'm sure many board members have more interesting stories to tell about cards their relatives and friends collected while the hobby was still in its infancy, so, LETS HEAR IT!!!
