Mike, thanks for getting in touch with SFMays for me. I really want to help him and his boys complete their 1982 Topps set. That's probably exciting for the youngsters.

I remember the first time I completed a hand collated set. It was a 1983 Topps set. I still have memories of of thinking the lady that owned the local card shop was nuts for charging me 75 cents for a rookie card of some guy named Wade Boggs that I had never heard of, LOL! That 1983 set brings back memories of good times. It also has Willie McGee's rookie card. I loved to watch Willie McGee play the outfield. He sure did cover a lot of ground in his younger days. My dad used to take me to Reds games as that was the closest Major League team to us. We always went to see the Cardinals. I took my McGee rookie card to one of the games with me and got Willie to sign it. I still have that card in a display on my wall. Going to those Reds games was the best bonding experience my father and I ever had while I was a child. I'm 35 years old now and to this day, my father and I still make at least one trip to Cincinnati every summer. That's what baseball is all about!
