Ha ... seriously though, your commitment to having baseball cards by any means necessary, and amidst the snickers of local youth, is quite admirable, and your experience reads like a chapter from Josh Wilker's "Cardboard Gods."<br /><br />Also, "hamfisted scissor skills" is a trait we both share, and a phrase that I would like to use more often. Thanks again!mkenny59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05234341530938587397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-29772026571134013272011-11-22T21:16:13.442-05:002011-11-22T21:16:13.442-05:00I ate a lot of Kraft dinner in 1987 just to get th...I ate a lot of Kraft dinner in 1987 just to get those cards. I think I amassed a couple dozen or so, I definitely didn`t have the Brett. <br /><br />They were looked down on by the other kids at recess. I was living on an American air base in Germany at the time and the commisary didn`t stock regular baseball cards so these were the only ones I could get. The other kids had their their Topps and Donruss cards that they had brought with them from the states and they`d stand around trading them. Then they`d see me, the Canadian kid whose home country didn`t have Topps or Donruss, sasheying along, fistful of Kraft cards - easily identifiable due to my hamfisted scissor skills - in hand. They`d then close up the circle tight and shut me and my Kraft cards out completely. <br /><br />I think I still have them somewhere. Strawberry, Clemens, Murphy, Davis. Love those cardbacks.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.com
