Fred CI've told this story in the past and it's just as amusing now as when I first told it.
I have a few 5,000 count boxes that have cards from the 70's and 80's sorted by year and numerical order. Acouple of years ago I found a few 1984 Topps cards in my son's room. I was a little surprised because he really hasn't taken a huge interest in baseball cards. I asked him where he got the cards and he said from a box in the garage. I asked him to not mix up the cards in the boxes because they were sorted but it's fine that he took out a few cards. I found a few more cards in his room a few days later and he then told me that the gum didn't taste good. Ok, now I figured it out, he was opening up my wax packs. I kind of laughed and then asked him not to open any more.
I keep most of the valuable cards secured from the kids. I'd hate to have a one of my OJs with a penned on mustache added to the player.
