Baseball Card Games

[Tall_James]

Back in grammar school, we'd all get together before class with giant stacks of baseball cards and play either "Flips" (flipping onto the ground and matching face or back), "Colors" (kind of like "War" but matching colors of the card) and "Knockdown" (where you'd lean a card against a wall and take turns trying to knock it down, winner getting all the thrown cards).

I loved those games. However it kills me to know that I could have financed my daughter's college education with all the Mickey Mantle and Nolan Ryan cards that I ruined in the schoolyard or in the spokes of my bicycle.

Does it kill you too?

Yes. I had thousands of cards from the 60's, and they were all dumped.
I had them all: Clemente, Mays, Mantle, Koufax. I cry at night just thinking about it. That, and my old lunchboxes!
