Default Any senior moments in collecting?

Posted By: Ed McCollum

I had bid on, and won a signed team roster from the '98 Cardinals (1998, not 1898), for a game v. Milwaukee in which Mark McGwire hit his 65th home run. It was autographed by 11 of the players on the team, and donated by Tony LaRussa to an animal shelter in Beatrice, Nebraska for a silent auction. No one else bid, and I got it. It came in a large plastic holder, with a CoA from LaRussa's animal foundation and arrived in a FedEx envelope that it was shipped from him in. Last time I saw it was August, 2004, when we moved from Lincoln to Omaha. Not a clue of where it is now, as I've torn up every place it could be several times since then. Hoping when I move to the old age home, it will be found, but I probably won't remember what it is, or why I had it.
