A good friend should at least act interested, I know when I bring up cards several of my friends act like they care.

I went to a flea market (Collinsville Trade Day) saturday and a guy with a table of junk had a common rough 59 Topps on top of a stack of cards held together buy a rubber band....so naturally I hoped there were MORE fifties Baseball cards in that pile. I asked to see the stack and there was that 59 followed by about 35 cards of Brutus Beefcake, The Undertaker etc lol I guess his ploy SORTA worked but I didn't buy anything so it didn't work like he had hoped.
