Cry for me the Beloved Cards

[jingram058]

I sold a '34 Goudey Gehrig, '41 Play Ball DiMaggio, '58 Topps Mantle along with about 15 other great cards for what I remember was $200 in the mid-1990s. Just for gas money, food, etc. I was a Navy CPO at the time, stationed in Charleston, family in Fort Lauderdale, and I was driving all 540 miles each way virtually every weekend that I did not have the duty. Needless to say, money got to be tight. I memorized everything on US Highway 17 and Interstate 95. I could not take out a loan due to my Top Secret clearance up for periodic review (You had to be squeaky clean, no issues or skeletons in the closet of any kind). I vowed I would never do anything like that again, and I still feel sick about it to this day.
