Summer of 1973, during the week I used to work for my dad and got paid $50.00 every Friday. Saturday morning would take the bus and go to ADCO owned by Goody Goldfaden. My first time there I bought Cobb green port ($4), Johnson pitch ($4), Speaker ($3), Cy Young glove ($4), Lajoie port ($3), Brown port ($3), Chance port ($3), Evers port ($3), Tinker port ($3), Walsh ($3), 39 PB Dimaggio ($3), Diamond stars, Cochrane ($2), Hornsby ($2), Lazzeri ($2), Greenberg ($2)
Most of the cards where in VG-EX condition, Goody did not care much about condition and used to thumb the cards like a deck of cards.
I would go every Saturday for the rest of the summer...and the next few after that.
