A woman called and said she was participating in an antiques sidewalk sale the next Saturday and had a Babe Ruth card for sale. If I arrived before the sale opened I could buy the card. I got there early, introduced myself, she hands me the card and says "let's start the haggling at $15." Needless to say there was no haggling necessary. I paid for the card, thanked her for calling, and went home. I probably should have stayed and looked around but I thought I'd better just leave and appreciate my good fortune. The other two cards were part of collections also purchased from responses to ads years ago. Man I miss those days.

Great story!
I don't remember my first Ruth but here is one I got back from my first collection sale.
