Show Your Oldest Card....

[AMBST95]

Now to make you feel old, this is the card I've had in my collection the longest. I don't remember how i got it, but I clearly remember it being in my toybox with my He-Man and WWF action figures as a little kid.



I was six when it was released so I'm guessing I was good and got a pack of cards as a kid. I was a bigger fan of Garbage Pail Kids and Panini's baseball sticker books. I didn't really start collecting baseball cards until 1990 Topps.

I pulled this one out of a pack in 1965. Even though I was a Cub fan living in Chicago I wasn't a big fan of Ernie. I always wanted to open a pack and find Mays, Mantle or Koufax, so this card didn't mean that much to me back then.

When we moved to Phoenix four years later my mom threw away all my cards, and since I had "grown up" I didn't care. This card was spared because it had been stuck in a book, where my brother found it twenty years later. He sent it to me, and I have kept it as a reminder of my childhood ever since.
