Great story...my mother never through my cards out from the late 50’s. I was one of the lucky ones. Steve from Baltimore.

I am glad that you used "lede" correctly. Congratulations. However, I take issue with the decision to mention Slobby Robbie. There are a wealth of other GPK characters to mention. I could have done without that particular memory. That said, like the scent of madeleines, this article made me remember exactly where I was when I opened my Bo Jackson Future Stars card with the wooden border.

I want you to know that the decision to go with Slobby Robbie was intentional. That is sells for about $150 (mint) is something we should all take issue with.
