Now this is something to sit back and look at with a cup of coffee on a cold night. There's things here we'll never see. Thank you USSIWOJIMA for sharing your incredible collection with the rest of the guys.
ReplyDeleteWOW. When I think of all the cards my mom threw away.
ReplyDeleteLOL, a common theme. My mom threw away alot of mine too.
ReplyDeleteI had tons of cards obtained by gambling them away during the early 40s. One person would flip a card by holding it at the top and bottom of the long edge. After awhile, you became very proficient and could flip dozens so that they came up all heads or all tails. The object of the game was to flip 10 or 20 so they came up the same way. Then a second person would attempt to match the cards you had flipped. He won all the cards if he was successful. You won all the cards if he wasn't. Then 2 other boys would start the game all over. It was always one boy vs. another and the game always began anew. I think I can still do a good job but don't want to destroy my current collection. Usually, we used some cards to over and over ot the ones we won to aboid damage. Like the rest of you, my Mom through them away along with all my comic books when i went to college. I could have been a millionaire today! Bummer
