The Vault
Opening Day on King Street
I was six years old when I got my first pack. A rack pack from the drugstore — 1980 Topps baseball. I didn't know the players yet, but those cards were important.

Show Recap
Saturday's show was one for the books. Tables packed from open to close, a 1952 Mantle changed hands before noon, and three collectors hit on-card autos from the same chrome case.
