I posted about it on my site. At least 90% of my old baseball cards and a small mix of the rest.TheRealDFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124717470072185198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-34137595642174982742010-01-22T13:58:30.119-06:002010-01-22T13:58:30.119-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.TheRealDFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124717470072185198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-24971213963370709152010-01-20T23:14:59.630-06:002010-01-20T23:14:59.630-06:00I think if moms hadn't thrown out their kids b...I think if moms hadn't thrown out their kids baseball card collections in the '50s and '60s the cards wouldn't be worth as much today as they are. Anyway that "my mom threw out my cards" happened to my older brother. Fortunately it didn't happen to me, well not exactly. Many of my cards from my childhood (If I didn't trade them away to one of my friends) ended up in our basement laundry/storage room, and then eventually either disintegrated or probably wound up in a give-away box. That is probably what happened to my original Sonny Jurgensen Jersey that I loved to wear (and have a picture or two of me in it)CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-75082911733447299432010-01-20T21:57:08.439-06:002010-01-20T21:57:08.439-06:00I don't think that I've ever seen the Crac...I don't think that I've ever seen the Cracker Jack minis all together before.

My dad told me he had a Babe Ruth card at one time. Which one? Who knows but after his first tour in the army he came home and his mom, my grandmother had thrown all his cards out. I can only imagine what his collection might have been worth today.cynicalbuddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13459221069829023793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-58826454851802376052010-01-20T19:54:12.135-06:002010-01-20T19:54:12.135-06:00very cool... never heard Rabbit called Walter befo...very cool... never heard Rabbit called Walter before.
