Back from the Midwest (and my parents attic)

Hi all,
I just returned to CA after two weeks at the parents (and in-laws) houses in the heartland (Indiana).
As per my usual trips back there, I try and sneak at least 30 minutes up in the attic where all of my old junk is stored.
Found some of my old autos I obtained as a kid. I got a kick out of the memories and thought I'd share.
The Aikman is authentic on black sharpie. Got it TTM sometime between '90-92. I sent a bunch of these out as a kid and was thrilled when the QB of my favorite team (at the time, Go Titans!) responded.
This is an assortment of cards I had signed. I was living in Minneapolis during the Twins '87 World Series run and Frankie V was a local legend. I actually think I got the Murph and Guillen from a childhood friend b/c I don't remember those in person. The Lankford was obtained during a "Cardinals Caravan" in, I think, '92 when I was living in Evansville, IN --- I thought for sure he'd be a stud in the bigs. The auto'd ticket stub is "Cris" Carpenter --- a middle-reliever / spot starter in the late 80's, early 90's.
Man, I miss being a kid!!!!

I lived in an apartment - no attic. I can't think of anything more fun than finding the stuff from your younger days. My mom was a saver - so we had most all our stuff. Of course in horrible condition!

Tell me about it! First great quote of the 2007 season!
Happy New Year

sorry Matt --- PSA probably won't allow it to be added to the registry.
