1980 was when found a Beckett annual guide in a book store and seeing a 1972 Carew listed for $50 is what sucked me back in after giving up collecting as a kid because I was "too old" collect cards. I also found the Erbe/Miller book about the same time and that is what got me hooked on vintaged cards.
The first show Lee and I went to was a Manscoe Perry show at the Thumderbird in Minneapolis. I bought one of every Pete Rose card I could find from 1963-79. Also got a smoking 1956 Jackie Robinson. The first tobacco cards I bought were a t205 Matty about Ex for $15 and OJ Stovey about EX for $5.

I like to sit outside drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
