I wonder how many kids had these cards clipped on (with close pins) to the forks of their bikes? I know I did!!

My father in law and his siblings. Very likely. I know my dad would share such stories when I was a child and was collecting 80’s-90’s era baseball cards.
Hell, as a 10 year old kid, I’d be at the local flea market with my parents selling stuff. They actually allowed me, with about $120 in saved up cash, to buy sports cards from a wholesale distributor and resell at the flea market with them.
Unfortunately, when I was 12, my father passed, the sports card boom of the early 90’s was starting to fade, and no more trips to the flea market for a while.
My parents instilled in me how to hustle/sell. Now. Had they not gone out of business with the jewelry store, had they been able to convince a co-creator of a cleaning product to sell the formula for millions, perhaps I’d be an entrepreneur.
I was able to learn a lot. Most unfortunately, my life has been littered with aspirations of wealth, when the reality is, life gets in the way, so life gets the priority of where my focus remains.
Filed under someday. As I’ve always shared with my wife, I’ll never give up. I encourage my fellow B/SOTL here, to also persevere.
