My friend drafted Wade Wilson in the first round for his 1992 fantasy team. We all laughed at him. Wade Wilson....hahahaha. Back then fantasy was on paper and we looked at the morning paper to tally the score.
Collecting cards as a kid was a passion. I was on a mission! I was saving paper route money, reading Beckett, trading peers and hawking down inserts like a private investigator. I was damn good too. By the the age of 14 I had amassed a large collection of rookies, specialty cards and autographs.
A great first step towards financial independence. If times ever got tough, I thought, I'd always have my football cards to fall back on. Well life's a lot easier when you're twelve.
15+ years later I've dug them out of my closet. I could barely pay a months rent with all this neatly trimmed cardboard. Let's take a look at what I got.
