Finally, finally got around to protecting some of the cards from the mythical shoebox I have mentioned purchasing from when I was a kid. There was a pawn shop down in Bakersfield, CA that I went to looking for cards and the person pulled out two shoeboxes chock-a-block with old cards (this was the mid to late 70's. I only had $20 and the cards were 2 for a quarter. I bought what I could and begged my folks for more money, but when I went back the next day, they were gone. I still dream about what I passed up. Kind of a Sophie's choice for a kid with $20 as I went through the box.
I sold a lot of the Mantles and couple of the Bench rookies, some Clementes, etc when I was in college in order to eat.
These are what's left over (I was a big Pete Rose fan). Oh man, oh man, those shoeboxes...
Thanks again for subbing for me, Jasen.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
