Did Your Mother Throw Your BB Cards Out?

Saved mine from mom and it grew into vintage collecting.

My Grandmother toss my father's cards from the 40's and 50's . He learned a painful lesson and thankfully all of mine survived girls and college debauchery.

I grew up in the 1970's and my mom collected antiques so she knew not to throw out my cards. In fact, she used to drive me to baseball card shows in the Flint and Detroit area. She laughed saying middle age men carrying briefcases full of cards. Now, I mention to her that I am middle age and still collecting.

I was already out of the house by the time I started collecting. On the other end of the scale my younger brother(38) just got his cards(99% junk era) out of our parents house a couple months ago.

It's kind of funny but I can vividly remember riding my bike with a 1962 Topps Mantle clothes pinned to the spokes! I was 11 years old back then and a group of us neighborhood kids would get together with our stacks of cards fastened with a tight red rubber-band and play games of toss. And we all had multiple cards fastened to our bike wheels.... Yes, Mom through my cards out, but I don't think they would be worth much today in the condition I remember.... Nice to recall those memories.....
