identify7Mr. Lampley: Thank you for the e-mail message which you sent. Perhaps you can help me understand a bit about your "life long" collection.
It sounds very similar to what mine was, before I consigned most of mine away. Specifically cards from 1952 - 1959 which I had accumulated from packs which I opened from the time I was 7 through the time I was about 14. At that time females seemed to change from an annoyance to me, to an interest of mine. I suddenly had no more money to spend on frivolities such as baseball cards, because my new hobby (Judy) was becoming a bit costly.
I am sure that you had similar experiences as well. However, you have stated your age as 51, while mine is 60. Now if you too opened packs of cards to obtain your collection, you started when your age was negative two; and ended on approximately your fifth birthday.
Certainly this can not be. Please advise me what I have misinterpreted.
Thank you,
Gilbert Maines
