I was thinking about card collecting as a kid and thought it would be neat to hear your fondest memories of baseball card Collecting as a kid which is the root of most of our lingering passions for the cards.
One of my fondest memories concerns the Journeyman Major League Pitcher Bill Henry. Bill Lived in my neighborhood (Lower Middle Class) and his son was on my little league team. Well I wanted a Bill henry Card in a bad way, but could never pull one. I bought many packs and even considered trading one of my (3) 56 Topps Mantles for one. Well I bought a pack of 59 Topps on the way to elementary school one day but did not open the pack, I was saving it for later. I was sitting on the John in school that day staring at the cold black stall door and remembered the pack of cards in my top pocket and you guessed it, The Bill Henry had alluded me no more.
Now tell me one of your stories
