the cal ripkens i bought at a show in 1983 for about fifty cents each.
i bought the ryan for about forty bucks.
i traded for the rest. i also have a johnnie and several george bretts.
from 1975 through about 1989 i would get a 1/2 case of baseball cards for a birthday gift from my grandpa.
a 1/2 case is 12 boxes of baseball cards with 36 packs in each box, 12-15 cards per pack.
and i would go to shows and speculate on prospects.
i wasted good money on about 100 jose conseco's.
