I just thought it would be interesting to tell but I started collecting HOF only cards in 1973 at the age of 11. During the summers I worked for my dad for $50.00 a week. Every Saturday I would take the bus to Santa Monica and Fairfax to ACME cards, owned by Goody Goldfladen (NOT sure of speling) I would go in there and tell him who I wanted Cobb, Ruth whatever and he would come back with a fist full of cards for me to go through, Cobbs where $6.00 and Ruth $35.00. I once asked him for Plank and he said that was at least a $50.00 card. If I only knew then what I know now..
