Your stories of cards in your bike spokes and particularly
having the good sense to save the star cards of your youth
is so true. We flipped them, but didn't distinguish between
the regular players and the stars. We also scaled them to-
wards our front door stups. When one got a "leaner", then
we would get excited in our attempts to knock it down. If
we couldn't the "leaner" kid would get all the cards laying
on the sidewalk. I still have my "flipping-worn" Stan Musial,
Joe DiMaggio, Honus Wagner, etc. from the 1949 LEAF set.
Although, we did pay respect to Babe Ruth, who had died the
previous year's summer. We did not flip the Ruth cards.
Incidently Barry......what is a "herbivore" ?
