There used to be a really cool card shop in the Chicago Loop in the 90's, just off Michigan Avenue. They had a weekly auction where they put all the cards up on the wall and you would write down your bid on a sheet attached to the card.

Once in a while I would bring my 9 year old son into the shop with me. He was in awe there, he would talk to me in a whisper like he was in church.

The bidding always started at $1 and he would bid on a few cards. The cards were mostly vintage baseball but they also had modern cards and other sports in the auctions. My son won a Shaquille O'Neal card one time for I think $10. The card is now worth about $1000 so he did good on that one.
