Absolutely great quote, and I couldn't agree more:
"Today, this McDowell rookie card still causes old collector hearts to pitter-patter a little faster even if it will never attain the “value” of, say, a 2023 Topps Fanatics Nuclear Cosmic Slush Paul Skenes Refractor with Olivia Dunne Auto 1-of-0 Pre-Rookie “Card.”"
I remember sitting in the Coliseum bleachers for an A's game against the Yankees, and staring through my binoculars at the back of Taylor Duncan's jersey at third base most of the game...
Great stuff as always. Sam wrote a good candid book titled The Saga of Sudden Sam. Not to be flippant in the wake of Sudden Sam’s issues, but I hope Roger writes a book about that fateful June day in 1987 on the gravelly road.

Narrows it down to June 2 or 4, or August 15-16 of 1978.

Seinfeld references always appreciated in these parts.
Taylor Duncan died from a stroke at the gae of 50!
Yikes!
