It's funny, I just pulled out a bunch of SCD's from 75/76 and The Trader Speaks from 1974 and my earliest hobby publication, a 1972 edition of The Sports Hobbyist. I run across these once a decade or so (usually after moving) and it's always fun to look at the old ads. It brings back memories of my first card show back in 1976. It was either the Southern California Memorial Day show or the Labor Day show in Orange County. I remember passing up a Leaf Babe Ruth in pretty decent shape for $25 in favor of a 1951 Yankees World Series press pin. Lord only knows why I wanted the press pin so badly; I've hated the Yankees all my life. Oh well, at least mom never through out my collection.
