A wonderful story. Sweet and nostalgic. The first card I remember having was Karl Spooner, a pitcher on the 50s Dodgers who made a big splash when he arrived then quickly faded.
A wonderful story, sweet and nostalgic. Reminds me of the first baseball card I can remember possessing, Karl Spooner of the 50s Brooklyn Dodgers. Big splash when he came up, sadly faded quickly. Bought his card a few years ago and that lead me to buy all the old Dodgers pitchers that I could find...then a bunch of other Dodgers!
Your story, Michael, is so touching that I will become a paid subscriber. Thanks!
Great post! One of my favorite all-time pulls was a 2014 Topps Update Jacob deGrom RC. Got a PSA 10! But man, those Seaver / Ryan rookie cards are fantastic!!! Well done! My most recent purchase was a Ronny Mauricio Topps Gold RC /2024. Now's the cheapest time you can get it! Got one for $8 on eBay! Good stuff, thanks!

We opened a moving box yesterday and found the Ripken game 2131 commemorative baseball in its box.
