Happy Mother's Day

Anybody have any real "Cards Your Mom Threw Out" stories?

Hi Pat

Unfortunately my mom's gone but she - like me - was a pack rat - so nothing got thrown out.

Having collected cards in the 50s/early 60 - and having brothers that collected up into the early 70s, I was amazed how BAD the cards looked.

One day she came out with a box of my brother's who collected in the 60s - here's an example:



I've still got some cards from my youngest brother - who collected in the 70s - also not very good - I gave them to my son - the Garvey RC looked like someone put it in the spokes of a bike!

It was probably a special child who "archived" cards when we were kids?

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.

Unfortunately my mom has been gone for over 20 years now. Only thing I have still that reminds me of her is my 1966 Topps Mantle card.

RIP to all the moms that have passed.
