I would buy them in little packs. It was at a time when topps baseball cards came with a stick of gum. Tasty.
Looking back I am not sure why I was into baseball cards. What is so great about a pieces of cardboard with stats and a photo on it. I suppose I wanted to make big money on a card. I never did.
I did buy two complete years of baseball cards. I forget what years. I even put cards in binders. And in those binders I put the cards in clear plastic sleeves. I would take the binders out and look at the cards every so often.
I don’t think I am into card collecting. I never collected football or basketball or hockey cards. Why baseball cards? Only I know and I don’t remember. Probably the money that might have been made that never was.
I had almost 3 complete years of 3 different brands of cards. Two were complete. One was almost complete. And I might have had more cards that were not in binders.
Maybe it would have been better to collect records or comic books or take the money that I put in baseball cards in a bank.
I don’t know that I found collecting the cards that fun. I was no expert that is for sure. They still make baseball cards but, I have not payed attention to them in years. I don’t miss the hobby.
