Childhood or adulthood rip off stories

[esd10]

i remember this one time in 1990 or 91 i went to a card show at my local mall and i had saved like a $100 to buy my favorite players rookie card the 79 topps ozzie smith and of course i found 1 for around $75 and was so excited. I had the card for about 2 weeks and took it to school with my mother of course telling me not to and did anyway and showed some of my friends at lunch who where intersted and put it back into my bookbag and finished the day and when i got home and was going to take it out of my bag and it was gone. lets just say i was heart broken to find that my prized card was gone someone had taken from my bag during recess and never seen it again. This off subject but when i was young i always thought the 33 goudey ruth was the penicle of all cards and now it makes me laugh to know what is really out there.
