Hal LewisPS - My FAVORITE cards are still the ones that I collected as a kid and have kept forever:
1968 Topps "Super Stars" #490 - Killebrew, Mays & Mantle (first card I ever bought at a card show)
1973 Topps (first year of buying wax packs as a kid)
1977 Topps (first full set from Renatta Galasso)
Total Value: $34
Sentimental Value: Priceless!!
Without these memories ... I wouldn't be spending the amounts on cards that I am spending. I would be spending my money on some other hobby.
The "investors" will come and go ... but just because I spend a lot does NOT make me any less appreciative of a common card than anyone else!
