Specializing in Collectibles - Affairs of the Heart
Was it that infamous shot to clinch the game? The last moment you spent with your old man, watching him as he soaked in another win from a team that was as much a part of your family as your lovable mutt? Maybe the first game you experienced with your boy, when you 2001 A Space Odyssey "oh yeah, we got something special here".
Little trinkets, that mark an occasion or celebration. A Mister Met plush toy that takes you back to 1970 Shea Stadium, or a program you filled out at your first ball game, you didn't even know what E-5 meant or how to spell Ed Kranepool. Nostalgia is not really for the weak of heart. Something happens to your body when you are 43 years old SpiderMan think about the 1970's and it feels like it was yesterday. What is that something else that runs through your body, that you know is not blood or lipids?
Tell me I am not the only Sandman comic that this happens to. Tell me that sports cards and memorabilia is as much a part of your childhood and past as it is mine. Sports cards are not for profit anymore today then they were in the 1970's, when do I dare write it? You were that one kid on the block who did not know who Mickey Mantle was and yes, you did dare put him between your spokes on you bike, when the rest of us would only dare put NY Mets infielder Ken Boswell, besides we knew better, we got a Boswell in every pack, odds were everything even before profit.
Yes, you probably got an extra egging come Halloween, especially by a disgruntled Yankees fan for that bold/dumb but hey you deserved it. I sell and purchase sports cards and watch their values just about everyday of my life, but there is no feeling quite like holding a sports card from the 1970's and letting that card take you to your very own block in Brooklyn, 13th Street - Park Slope for me.
Jimmy, Pauly, and Tommy and I are still 10 years old and if I really concentrate I can still hear a subway train rolling by Avenue U and even further behind in my mind I hear a verse of John Sebastian's "Welcome Back" from the "Welcome Back Kotter, Show."
Welcome Back, your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome Back to that same old place that you laughed about...I knew you would remember it. Get some sports cards, if not cards then comics. Go and get something that is going to take you to a time and place where only you and your pals know existed and when you find that item, hold on tightly and don't ever let go...
Wait! Before you sell those sports cards for next to nothing, purchase a Beckett magazine, of your favorite sports collectible and earn the profit you deserve. Find out how to profit from your great collection... click here!
