Top 10 Things I Collected As A Kid

Top 10 Things I Collected As A Kid

Beer cans: I lined them up across the steel beams in our basement. Falstaff! Olde Frothingslosh! Schmidt! 

RC Cola baseball player cans: I admit to climbing into a dumpster to get Dave Kingman and Rusty Staub cans. 

UDF mini MLB team batting helmets: One sundae or slushy at a time one summer. I put the helmets in the cardboard standings board you could buy. 

Encyclopedia Brown books: I read the entire series. Loved “Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Slippery Salamander”

Hardy Boys books: I still have about a dozen in a bag in the basement. Loved “The Mystery of the Spiral Bridge”

Marbles: Steelies! Cat's eye! I thought we played a game, rolling/shooting them along the street curb. But I don’t remember the rules. 

Reds team yearbooks: The ‘76 edition had a cartoon drawing of Rose, Morgan, Bench and Concepcion lifting the world, with Sparky laying on top. 

Baseball cards: One pack at a time. Never bought complete sets. Box of doubles. 

Truck and Van cards: Seems odd to think they made these. But they did.  

MLB team bumper stickers. I wrote letters to every team. I’d put them on the school book covers I made from brown paper grocery store bags.
