9. 1973 Topps # 615 Mike Schmidt 10. 1969 Topps #95 Johnny Bench
I've been collecting baseball cards since the late 60's. When the hobby peaked in the late 80's I made the decision to
only collect Topps cards. Luckily for me, my parents never threw away the shoeboxes from my childhood when Topps was the "only
game in town". I have loads of other manufacturers cardboard from 1987-1990, bought before I realized that there wasn't the
same joy in collecting that I had felt when I was a kid. I began pecking away at filling the 1971-1973 sets that were in the
shoeboxes and lucked into a large assortment of cards from 1968-1970. Still, the going was slow and life put my collecting
on hold for quite a few years. Then I stumbled upon the OBC website and knew that I had found a group of collectors who shared
in what I felt about baseball and baseball cards. The feel of the candy store steps.
Do you remember the feel of the candy store steps?
