Talk about speculating...

I miss the days of Upper Deck and ruffling through Beckett to see how much my cards were worth as a kid.

Haven't been keen on baseball cards in 25 years but the stuff today is beyond crazy.

I was friends with one of the executive team (Creative Director) when Upper deck first hit the market decades ago... he used to laugh and tell me 'we're printing money'

Yeah, who knew the skinny kid would amount to anything.

I think I remember back in the day of just buying cards for the gum. Where the cards ended up, I don't have a clue.

Much the same here. I probably folded it up and turned it into an airplane

If you'd kept the card you could now BUY an airplane.
