My first introduction to retired baseball players via cardboard were the Laughlin cards of the '70s. Two series I had cards from as a kid were the Famous Feats and Worlds Series cards. I feel as much nostalgia for those as I do for '77 to '80 Topps cards. All of them "bring me back" to the days of my youth. Each one is like a miniature time capsule, storing memories and emotions from my childhood.
Somehow, I think a picture's value is often much more than a thousand words.
