The Golden Era For Collecting
Posted By: Mike
My point is, at least for me, was the time when collecting was almost exclusively for kids. Adults weren't involved. Card shops weren't involved, it was only for us kids. The card collecting world was a place where us kids could go and just be kids. No adults. Adults knew nothing of cards, and that they were made for children. No Mr. Mint. No Al Hager. NO reprints. Just us kids with a show box full of cards. A nickel or a penny was all that it took. I understand the current state of affairs. I've spent many many thousands on cards. That is the way it is now. And I have no problem with what is going on now. I understand change. But for me, the most memorable time was when it was just me and my buddies. And never ever was the monetary value of a card brought up. Never.
