RE: Zeprock Collection
In 1979 I was living in Florida in the Orlando area. When I left Maine for Florida, I did not take my card collection with me. My cousin and I drove down together taking turns driving my 1973 Plymouth Duster and we drove straight through getting there in about 24 hours. My first day there I got a part time job at a Handy Way convenience store. My second day I was made full-time. By the end of the month, I was assistant manager and by the end of the year, I had my own store. I didn't give a thought to cards that year as I found so many other things to occupy my interests. I didn't even have a television set and didn't realize it for a year and a half until I was in someone else's home and they had a tv set on. I would write back and forth with my Mom and at one point during the summer she asked if she should sell my cards in a yard sale. I told her no and when I flew back to Maine for Christmas, after a week I brought my card collection back to Florida with me. I didn't see or buy any cards that year but eventually put the entire set together. Wrapping up another decade, here are nine 1979 cards from my collection.
