Mark EvansI collected baseball cards as a kid for only one year -- 1961 at the age of 11. I collected the entire set and happily my mother never threw them out. I have them to this day.
I never collected anything else until discovering ebay in 1998. I have collected a variety of stuff since including some vintage cards. But, none of the newly acquired memorabilia means as much to me as the 1961 Topps set because of the memories it brings back -- trading with friends, flipping cards, buying packs for a nickel at the local five and dime, gum, etc.
By the way, I met several board members in Atlantic City and look forward to seeing you all again, and meeting others, in Cleveland.
