Neat idea, thanks for starting Ted. And thanks to everyone else for sharing.
I don't necessarily consider myself a raw card collector -- when I returned to collecting baseball cards 18 months ago, I've primarily purchased graded cards simply for the security reasons when purchasing items via the internet. But the bulk of my former collection is all raw, including these that I picked up nearly 20 years ago:
Also have a 1973 Topps rookie card of Mike Schmidt that I bought from the local card shop in Teaneck NJ for $100 as a kid -- at that point it was my first real "big item" purchase, so it surely has a strong sentimental attachment. Haven't yet made a scan of it though.

p.s. the scratches on the Mantle are on the case, not the card
