In the summer of 1968 I was old enough to push a lawnmower and began mowing some elderly neighbors lawns for $3. The local mom-n-pop gas station was just 1/10 of a mile down the street and I took my 2 gallon can down to get the gas needed and and used what remained up to the next dollar to buy cards. Gas was about 35 cents a gallon.
. I still have the 68 Mantle, Killebrew, Kaline and other stars, but the Ryan rookie was in a pile that stayed on the living room floor too long and Mom tossed them into the burn barrel in the back yard. I added more lawns, and cards, through the next 8 years until I went off to college. Last edited by Piman58; 02-19-2021 at 06:30 PM.
