Default Would Have, Could Have, Should Have. (What If?)

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

Before baseball card collecting became popular I would occasionally see people selling packs of '50s cards at antique auto shows for $5. There were typically, Id estimate, about 200 cards per pack. I thought about it a few times, but never seriously enuff to check the condition - well actually condition wasn't the issue yet - the players were the issue to me. But I never went for it. Heck, this was about 1970 and you could get half a case of beer for $5 then.
