Story Time
19xx.
when i was in elementary school i used to be an avid baseball card
collector. i used to look forward to buying packs of baseball cards
with the hopes of getting that special "valuable" card. growing up,
i used to read the monthly baseball card pricing magazine beckett. i
remember that common cards (no name players) were worth a measely
$0.05 while big name rookies were worth much more. i used to read the
magazine every month to see if the cards i had appreciated in value.
if the value of the card went up $0.05 i was happy. i also remember that
i had a special rule: cards worth more than $1.00 (ooh)
were placed in special hardcover plastic cases. all the more reason
to preserve them i guess.
