Nice cards...and good stories. I certainly have mine spanning the last 40 or so years.

I have early hobby memories of scoffing at $7 for a tom seaver rookie...and $25 for a hank aaron rookie...mind you I was like 8! $250 for a nrmt goudey ruth for $200 may as well have been a million bucks!

While in college I purchased a fro joy uncut sheet for maybe $85. At this time this was by far the most I ever paid for a card...it turned out to be fake!

In 1992 i won a few red hindy backed t206's at a live auction in silver spring, mn...for $100 ea.

Then in 1994 while interviewing at dental schools I came across a crandall red hindu in cleveland, oh for $250...a new record for me.

The most I ever paid for a card was the infamous t207. red cross lowdy from the antiques roadshow...it was somewhere around 20K.

The only card remaining in my collection is the fake fro joy sheet!!!!
