My fondest memory of baseball cards as a child was they way they sounded in my bike spokes, especially going down a steep hill. |

As far as cards are concerned, when I was young we lived in central Conn. I was in the 2`nd grade and my mother happened to be substitute teaching in the same building one day. After school I walked down to her classroom and found her shooting or flipping cards with about 5 or so 5`th graders. It lasted about 2 hours and she proceeded to lose about 2 or 3 feet of cards(mostly early to mid 60~s stuff) that the regular teachers had confiscated during the school year!!! |

Growing up as a yute in NYC, the agreement among us was that whoever got up and out earliest on Saturday had first crack at scouring the curbside adjacent to a nearby busy street for discarded soda bottles (which had a two cent deposit on them). We would then bring them to the candy store and collect our proceeds and typically select candy, cards or soda, or combinations thereof. |

Growing up in New Jersy, I was a huge Mets fan. My fondest card memory was when my mom was driving me somewhere, & one of my cards from a pile on the back seat got sucked out the window. I panicked looking through my cards for my Seaver, & sure enough it was gone. My mom knew how important it was to me, & we walked the side of the road seemingly forever until we found it. I'll never forget that. |

Growing up in Burbank,California in the mid-50's every kid in school wanted to get a 1955 Topps Frank Sullivan of Boston because it listed Burbank on the back as his hometown. My favorite player was Dale Long and I soon realized that every time I pulled a Frank Sullivan it was like gold because I could command 5 Dale Longs for one Frank Sullivan --by 1956 I thought I had every Dale Long card ever made!! |

Getting shoved in to a revolving door at the Biltmore Hotel by Jerry Grote when I was 11 years old after asking for an autograph. "Sign this!" he said. What a class act. After that, I moved my hero worship to Jeff Torborg. |

When I was 8 we played games, in an rv parked at a friends house, it was about 1969, and traded cards with whomever won the games. There were grocery sack's full of cards being traded that summer. A little off topic but that was the summer, in the same neighborhood circle, when playing kick the can, that I was running full speed with my head turned, and when I turned it back around I ran right into a light pole, full speed. I will never forget that. It hurt. regards |

When I was 8 we were visiting some friends of the family and I had a really bad cold. I made it a habit to ask if they had any baseball cards and the mom said there were some in the basement and I could pick out a few that I wanted. Well there I was picking through a box of cards, barely able to see straight with the fever, yet I managed to pick out, among others, a '63 Musial and a '56 Crazylegs Hirsh. I remember thinking how cool the cards were the next day thumbing through them, but I've forever wished that I hadn't been sick. |
