I happened to one of my neighbors. He collected throughout the 1960s and '70s. He is a Yankees fan, so plenty of Mantles, Marises, Fords, etc. When he went to college, his mom tossed everything.
I should add though, that his dad was a LCDR in the Navy during World War II. He got to meet Dizzy Dean and a few other members of the Gashouse Gang when they came through as part of a USO tour. He got a postcard signed by them that is still in the family. He's still going strong at 96 years old (will be 97 in July). Next time I see him, I'll ask if he has any memories of Ol' Diz.
