Then around 1998 I found OBC ( http://www.oldbaseball.com) a great group of guys into old beatup card board more for fun than profit. Made a lot of friends, completed or started all of the Topps/Bowmna sets and a few pre-war. Its been a blast! |
That's really cool!
I was a year behind you, graduated in 81.
The kids I asked would have been other freshmen, as I was new and didn't know anyone yet.
I don't recall you, but I'm sure we must have run across each other at Halls. I was there often enough that they put me to work sorting sets in 78. Like 2-3 times a week.
I also bought cards from the little antique shop in Fabric Corner.
