Funny...I would right the EXACT same sentence just put in a 79 for 77. That was cool...



Thanks for posting, brought a tear to my wife's eye and great memories of that pure love of the hobby from my childhood...

Very cool vid!

It brings back memories when I was a kid and collecting hockey cards. Esso gas stations gave out small stickers that you placed in a hockey book with all the teams.

I remember constantly bugging Dad asking him if he needed gas almost daily.

He was good about it but of course one doesn't need to buy gas daily but he would fill small gas cans occasionally, and occasionally ask/bug the attendant for more booklets.

Come to think of it, I still have that book.

Brings back memories from the mid 70's trying to complete the set fot that year.As my want list shrank I would go to the toy store....inthe back where they sold rack packs.Would take my list and go through them all front and back.I wish I could have those 1975 ...or any of the 70's racks back.

If anyone reaches out and finds contact info for this kid and his brother I would love to send them something.

Adding -

Actually I found his father on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lhillenmeyer

I do not have a twitter, nor do I want one. Does one of you with a tendency toward "tweeting" wish to reach out for the group?

Still surprised that the Cubs did not jump on this for a PR bonanza yet.
