  Ron, I might have missed it earlier, but how old were you when you purchasing these cards? Its been funning watching you churn through these old 61's from your youth.

  I was born in Nov. '48 so in the summer of '61i would have been 12 years old.

  Very cool to go back!
  
  I don't have any cards from when I was around 8 to10.
  
  Unless a card was a star, I wouldn't remember much about my rips back then - I did like the gum!!!!
  
  Thanx for sharing Ron.

  Mike

  These are awesome. Unfortunately for me, when I look back at the first cards I bought, I'll be face-to-face with a heap of worthless '86 and '87 Topps.

  You can't beat childhood card memories such as that - I don't care how much money ya spend on other cards.

  ...and it's "amazing" isn't it how those darn things get the corners dinged even when stored in a shoebox or other seemingly good storage method where ya think they should remain sorta pristine?
