Getting back in...

Hello there,       I have been collecting cards since 1975......I was just a small child at the time, but the weird thing is, I remember buying packs at the store 3 houses down from my house.  My grandmother giving me some change (like 75 cents) and I'd go and buy a 10 cent bottle of coke and maybe a bag of chips or some penny candy or even a candy bar.......whatever was left, I'd buy baseball cards with that extra coin ;)      The weird thing is......when I brought those cards back to my grandma's house, I remember the very first time I bought cards.........I think it was 4 packs of 1975 Topps, and my grandfather was mowing the lawn.  He came close to me and shut off the lawnmower and asked what I had there (in my hands).  I told him baseball cards in between sips of my coke......      I will never forget him saying, collecting cards is for losers, playing baseball is what real boys do !!!  LOL.......still to this da...
