I remember my son, in '79-'80, playing the "Got it! Need it!" thing, and I have twice left a show with money, once to protest the quality of the show (I didn't buy ANYTHING, though I could have found some little thing I wanted), and once when I realzed I hadn't paid my credit cards yet (Tri Star, a month ago--I left with $180!)

I remember walking into the San Francisco National in the late '80s
with a guy who had a thick wad of bills..within FIVE MINUTES. he was writing checks...

To those of you whose wives are sympathetic, or even helpful, in collecting, I say Boy, are you lucky! and to those moms who didn't throw them all away---BRAVO, women of sense!

I have the first three cards I bought, but they are replacements: The mini-Brock, '75, the '54 Snider (with a hole in the center) and the beautiful '55 Robinson--I must really have been hard up to sell that one once.
