Test - post a card you have owned a longtime

[71buc]

At age 11 I bought the Koufax in 1974 from a neighbor with my allowance. I saved for three weeks to raise the $5. The Mathewson I picked up in 1981 at my first card show. I don't recall what I paid. I know it was more than the Koufax but as an unemployed high school senior it was obviously fairly cheap. I loved the artistry of both cards. They were mesmerizing. I remember being amazed how good thier condition was despite being vintage. The cellphone pics don't do them justice. I weny through great efforts to care for them. Although I was curious I never got them graded. I still get a thrill looking at them. They bring back some great memories.
