I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

You can hear the song "Van Lingle Mungo" on youtube with accompanying pictures of all the players as their names are sung. Listen here:

3 of my personal favorites. I found them as a kid in a card shop in Cooperstown, New York for $20 a piece, which was a good buy then. My dad bought them for me as a gift ($60 was a lot of cards for a kid), and they were in my pocket in top-loaders when we went through the museum for the first time. All my favorites are the cheap ones connected to childhood and good memories, instead of my more expensive cards.

I believe a red colored Vaughn was considered something of a tough E98 then, haven't kept up with the thinking now post-black swamp find though.

Although I don't recommend or condone such a practice, I believe these two Diamond Stars cards are how you can get rid of unwanted waterfowl.

E98 Vaughns in any color are still tough cards in the set.

... and the personal history/backstory adds so much for me. at card shows that i set up at; I pull a T206 common out of the case, out of the sleeve; hand it to a kid and ask, "How does it feel to hold a 110 yr-old baseball card?". I follow it up with, "Congratulations! You are the 837th person to touch that card, in it's lifetime. your Dad may have touched it; your Grandpa may have, even his Dad.". I then turn to the parent and say, "See, this is really what it is all about".

Popular for rowdy/bored teens in many rural parts of the country: E98 blue Miner Brown tipping.
