Any Sports card collectors here?

Just remembered......anyone ever recall flipping cards against a wall to see who got the closest to the edge? Remember if you if you landed on another card it was "topsies"? If you leaned it against the wall, it was "leaners"? All would try to knock your leaner down. Whoever got the closest won all the cards tossed. We use to play in groups of up to 10 of us. They guy that walked away with the grocery bag fullest or shoe box full of cards ruled.

That all said, it is sad the cards I played that with. I don't want to name the names on my cards when I did this in the very early 70's. Makes me want to cry.

I got a ton of stuff from late 80s early 90s. Autographs, sets, unopened boxes... I should probabaly take an inventory of everything and see what I can sell it for. I know I'll never get back the money I (Dad) invested, but at least I can get something for them.
