Default 1979; that important year

Posted By: CN

My fondest memories of that year as far as collecting go was helping setting the monthly shows at the Golden Gate Motor Inn in Brooklyn. When BHN came out I remember the Barnings ask me to help man their auxilary table at several shows for a nomimal fee and sell their paper. Being a teenager I spent all my extra money on cards. I remember a couple of dealers from Queens came up with the novel idea of selling 2 full factory boxes of cards 500 a piece and whatever cards you needed to complete the set up to 150 cards they would send you for the price of a whole set(this was before Topps collated whole sets I believe).
