I was born on June 21st, 1959, Father's Day, the first official day of summer and the longest day of the year as far as daylight goes. I have a great birthday. But I digress.
Yesterday I added 156 cards from 1959 to my collection giving me a total of 498 cards released in that year. It got me to thinking. Here's my favorite from MY birth year.
Let's see yours.
That's the perfect Father's Day Baseball card!

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

I'd have to say the 1983 topps Wade Boggs RC would be my favorite, even though I don't own a copy of it (yet).
