EDITORIAL NOTE

IT'S IN THE CARDS
I considered myself an average kid when I was growing up. As with most boys in
America, baseball was a very big part of my life. I remember going to Shea Stadium
in the fall of 1969 to see the "Miracle Mets" beat the Baltimore Orioles
in the fifth game of the World Series to clinch the championship. Being there
with my two older brothers and my father helped to make it a day I'll never forget.
After the game the stands emptied—not into the parking lot, but onto the
playing field. Fans took any souvenir they could get their hands on: bases, pieces
of the fence, the distance markers in the outfield. My oldest brother took several
blades of grass from near the pitcher's mound. It was a day when the players I
saw on the baseball cards became real for a while.
. I mention this event because I was a baseball-card collector, but not a collector
like the ones of today. I collected for the fun of it. Every year, at the beginning
of the season, I'd start with 15 or 20 cards and flip them with my friends. By
the end of some seasons I had over 1,000 cards. If, as they say, I had 20/20 hindsight,
I would have saved them in a safety-deposit box, knowing now how valuable they
would become. Instead, at the end of every season, all my cards went into the
garbage.
Recently, I found about 100 cards that were spared the wrath of the garbage man,
some of which were worth quite a bit more than I had paid for them in the late
'60s. As a matter of fact, one of the cards is valued at $125. Which makes me
wonder about other discarded items and. how much they might be worth today. I'm
sure that many of you have similar stories. If so, the article entitled "Hollywood
For Sale" will be of special interest to you.
As usual if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding Gallery,
we would like to hear from you.
Thank you.
