Cool idea. These 75's survived my 1st summer of playing baseball in our new neighborhood. We moved from NYC to suburbs of NJ. I had no idea of the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry but after we played. I didn't care about how lousy the Mets were--it was exciting to go to Shea.

I read the newspaper (Star Ledger) and every baseball book I could to find to get more about its history. So, I was super excited to get this MVP card which I'm glad I still have.

As if that weren't enough, the 75WS really hooked me. I kept the batting order w/ my stack of cards for both teams. This Yaz one is an upgrade to the one I have, but I do remember watching Yaz, Fisk, Rose, and Morgan while clutching their cards.

I lived and died with the Bombers that season; as it turned out, my last in NYC. That homer, what joy it brought to my 11 year old self. Was baseball ever as important as it was at that age?

I've always loved this 1968 card. My older sister gave my 8 year old self a bunch of wax packs for my birthday that summer and this was one of them. Cards, of course, were not as big a deal back then, so this one got handled and thrown around, and lost in drawers. Every couple of years it would pop back up and would make me smile...and then get lost again. It finally got lost again for good, and my sister has since passed away, but everytime I see the card online it brings a big smile to my face and I remember that great summer. Oh hell, I guess I better pick one up soon. LOL

The first year I collected. This card had me hooked. Leaving value entirely out of the equation, it might well be my favorite card even now.

The 65 Mays is a classic and was on one of my early want lists since it was on the 75 MVP card

These two provoke the most poignant baseball memories from my childhood. They represent bookends of the emotional spectrum. I remember bawling on 01/01/1973 and dancing joyously in front of the television on 04/08/1974.
