1. I wish I kept my old B&W Beatles trading cards from the 60's.

I had hundreds of them but tossed them years ago.

2. those would be cool.

I Love the beatles.
I have a pretty cool James bond 1965 card set..I assembled it on ebay.
Thats where a lot of my sets came from.Buy them in lots and keep the ones you need resale the ones you don't.
Its pretty fun actually.
I also assembled the original Planet of the apes card set And the later Card set..It's pretty cool when you complete a set

3. I have a few Planet of the Apes cards. As well as the old Hot Rods cards t

But most of my collection are baseball cards (I have about 10,000), from 1950-1988. Many compete sets with rookie cards.
I was the kid who NEVER clipped cards to my bicycle spokes.

5. I kept them in shoe boxes at my parents house. Wrapped in plastic.

They were forgotten after I moved away in 1974. My parents were remodeling their house when they found several shoe boxes in a closet. They shipped them out to me and I found so many treasures.
Willie Mc Covey Rookie. Nolan Ryan Rookie. Willie Mays, 1955 Topps. Mickey Mantle 1960 Topps. All in Near-Mint condition.
Keeping them to pass on to my sons, after I leave this existence.

6. You lucky dog..

Those would be hard to part with I wouldn't be surprised if your kids kept them for their kid's.

7. They are heirlooms.

And my grown kids know the value. Both financially and sentimentally.

During the 80's when my parents sent me those treasures, I went hog wild buying sets and rookie cards.
I now have Roger Clemens rookies, Barry Bonds, Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken, Raphael Palmeiro, Mark Mc Gwire, Eddie Murray,and other prominent player's rookie cards.

Many complete sets from the mid-late 80's too.
