I cringe at the thought of how many baseball cards I had that I put in my bike spokes :cry: :cry: :cry:
Luckily, I was smart enough to keep the good ones in a safe place and still have them :) :)
Rookie Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton some Mickey Mantle's, Aaron's, Mays, Koufax, Yaz, Banks, all the great ones from 60's and early 70's.
