Fell madly in love with an Italian girl named Dana when I was 12 in 1977. Went steady for 7 months and we still talk to this day. She kept our love letters, and I was able to get a couple I wrote to her.

Still have the original 1973 wacky packages I bought when I was 8.

My dad ordered a catfish hunter As uniform for me when I was 10, from the company that made the pro uniforms. Company was from Massachusetts.
Still have it.

I also have a few things tucked away that I did with my three boys that they don’t know I kept. Plan to give it to them years from now when my days on earth are coming to a close.

    My Metallica and Guns n Roses cassette tapes are around here somewhere. I bought them back in the 80s and 90s.

    stevek may be the only person who can appreciate this, seeing as he's the resident Eagles fan

    a recent discovery from a box that had been stashed away...............coming up on 40 years since Wilbert Montgomery signed these for me (i was 9 at the time..........we share the same alma mater)

    the pink graph has held up surprisingly well over the years, and the ball too aside from a couple of missing chunks

    You had posted something about Wilbert a few years ago, so i knew about your common alma mater with him.

    Very cool items of a great running back. One of the most popular Eagles of all time.

    I still have most of my sports related chit from when i was a kid, including my first Little League shirt and cap from when i was eight years old.

    No love letters though because i never wrote any. LOL

    I wish I still had all of my toys from my youth. My ninja turtles, transformers, GI Joes, I had them all. Ah yes, the good old days, this is bringing back some great memories.
