1969 Topps #260 Reggie Jackson RC
1969 Topps #500A Mickey Mantle UER (When I began collecting cards in the early 70s, I kept all my my cards divided by teams. Mantle had retired and was no longer on a team so I put his card in my Mom's typewriter and typed "* RETIRED *" right across the front of it. Yeah, I even added the asterisks on either side to really make it look nice.
I've long since upgraded the card and I don't type on them anymore.)
1969 Topps #533 Nolan Ryan (I had a VG version of this card for years and in 1987, I traded it along with my 10-speed bicycle to the local sports anchor at the tv station I worked for and received this Near Mint card in exchange. I'm not sure why he agreed to the trade other than he really wanted a bicycle but I'm glad he did.)
