If anyone wonders why these are dated, it's when I wrote it. Baseball Cards August 1, 2004 I remember the days back in 1980 something that we went through a baseball card phase. My son had a lot of old baseball cards that were tied up in rubber bands and thrown in his junk drawer. One day while cleaning them out, I decided to put them in some kind of order. We found out he had quite a few old ones plus almost a full set of 1987 TOPPS baseball cards. My sister in law, Sandy has 3 boys and she got out their cards. We sorted cards day and night putting them in team order then in order by number. There were cards everywhere, all over the rug, all over the tables. My sister in law and I knew this dorky guy at the corner store, that we flirted shamelessly with, in order for him to get us some cases of wax packs at wholesale prices. Between the two of us we had made several full sets of cards. Then we had to have the FLEER set and the DONRUSS set. I still have unopened wax packs from 1987 on the top shelf of the closet. Don't forget, I then had to have the R! OOKIE set. It was getting too complicated. So every year after that I just bought Rick a complete set for Easter or Christmas or his Birthday. I have so many common cards stored out in the barn in about 6 boxes that I should just address them to an address and put a phony address on the return label and take them down to UPS and ship them to parts unknown.. But you know what, I just can't part with them, knowing how much fun it was to get them. Some day when I think he is responsible enough I will give them to him. <laughing> After all, he is only 41.
