MarkWhen I was 10 (1961 I'm sad to say) a neighbor decided to auction off his uncles cards at his house in our neighborhood which included a sizeable run of 39-41 Playballs. I attended with a friend who knew how much cash I had - one dollar. The first card to be sold was a 41 Williams and my buddy bid me up to the buck level so I won the Williams (which I still have). Of course then I watched helplessly as he picked up a dozen or more cards for a nickle each including the 41 Dimaggio, 39 Williams and many other HOFers.
