i have been buying packs (and sometimes boxes) of baseball cards since 1978. some years, i bought more than others, but it's been a constant thing in my life since i was handed my first pack in 1977. throughout that time, i've traded some cards away, and sold others, to further my collection. there is one card, however, that i regret having dismissed from my hands, and that is the subject of this post. the card that i used to own that i wish i still did.
the very first card i felt remorse over trading was a 1978 topps steve garvey.
