Elementary school in the mid 80s I got my cards at a Chinese grocery store three or four blocks from my house. There weren't yet any card shops in town, so anything more than a couple years old was hard to find. Anyway, I had a friend who was a few years older than me and had some of these coveted "old" cards, many of which he traded to me in absurdly one-sided trades. He was trading me Bench and Yastrzemski for, like, 1986 Mark Langston cards.
> It wasn't until years later that I found out he was trading me his brother's cards. |

Thousands and thousands of ‘87 Topps with rubber bands around them. To this day the smell of a late 80’s wax pack is like a drug for me.....instantly and fleetingly I am 8 years old again.
