(
It was 1975 and my mom and sister were digging frantically in their purse for 5 cents. My mom found 5 pennies and gave them to me. I ran as fast as I could back into the drug store, laid my 5 cents on the counter and asked for another pack of baseball cards. Later on, Tony and I cut out the little baseballs from the cards, set up a baseball field, and played a game. Little did we know that the cards would be worth money some day, and it doesn't matter because at the time the cards were magical.
