Dr Beckett,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, I know it was a tough one!
In the mid 1970's I attended my first “Sports Card Show” or “Baseball Card Convention.” (as they used to call them in those days). The main thing I came away with from attending “The Baseball Card Convention” was learning that my cards needed to be protected.
Thanks again,
Bart
