I remember lusting after the Jerome Walton card in the High Numbers Series…he didn’t do so well after that rookie year of his.

The decline of the baseball card industry. I collected in the late 80s, early 90s. It became a lot less fun when the companies started releasing special editions in limited quantities just to drive up value and demand artificially.
