I know it's very easy to say, Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and we often look on the past with rose colored glasses, but as someone that didn't experience it, I would kill to see what the hobby was like back then. Not even for the prices of the cards, just to see what it was like. I've heard stories, especially about the AC show in 1989, or what the National used to be like!
All I have to say is amazing Book. Great stories and sharing on this thread.
Keep it all coming.
Love the history of baseball and love the history of the hobby
