I started collecting sometime in 1968 when my father bought the Sunday newspapers and brought me home a pack of baseball cards. I was hooked. I suppose that simple weekly pack reminds me of my father and how baseball and baseball cards were an early and continuing bond. Don Mattingly brought me back and at some point I ventured into pre-war. I made sure to open packs with my son when he was young and even though he's in his twenties now every Christmas has a box of Topps for us to crack open. I suppose the father-son connection is a big influence on why I still collect today.
