I want a happier thread

Posted By: Bruce Babcock

Thank you, Rich.

I collected as a kid (1959-1965) after my mom brought home a shoe box of 1956 Topps and 1955 Topps All America from a church rummage sale. I sold about 3000 dupes for $60 to Goodie Goldfaden in 1976. In 1981 I got interested again after some stories in the papers about card collecting and found a store nearby (Van Nuys, CA) owned by Eric Cooper and Dave Hamilton. I spent lot of time in the store and bought my first Old Judge card there. They also ran a monthly show with about 30 dealers in Granada Hills and sponsored some pretty big shows at S. Calif. hotels. My first T206 came from one of those shows. This is where I got hooked on older cards, but after first splurging on 50s-60s I hadn't seen before.
