Dealers (or fellow collectors) who lit the fire

[skooter]

I collected baseball cards as a young boy, from around 1952 through 1960 when I finished high school. To say I just "collected" them would be an understatement; they were my passion. However, when I moved on in life, I remember giving them to my cousins and never gave them another thought. Then in 1974, while watching my daughter play softball, I went into a drugstore across the street from the park. I came across a paperback book entitled "The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book" by Brendan C Boyd and Fred Harris. I'm 66 now and I haven't stopped collecting since. Thanks guys.
