Frank WakefieldWell I welcome the young man, and hope he returns, with a new question, one day.
I had a good mentor, and one excellent mentor, in this card collecting frenzy. Anyone out there completely self-taught?
From time to time I will give cards to kids when I learn they have an interest in cards. Some new cards of their favorite team, a few cards from when they were born, and then a T206 or a Goudey. About half the time that sets the hook, they want to know more about these old cards, and about the history of the game. Without some kids like that out there, who'll buy our cards from our heirs?
