    That's when it all started 19 years ago when I was 13. That's what created the degenerate gambler I am today. I would play poker (5 card draw, 7 stud) for my valuable sports cards. I remember losing my 82 Topps Cal Ripken rookie card in a best of 5 series. Never won that one back. We would play 3-5 times a week. Why couldn't I just play sports or chase girls back then? Maybe even study some schoolwork every now and then and become sucessful? No I had to start gambling. Don't think I've gone 1 week without gambling since then.

      Yeah POGS were like coins but with pictures on them....Didn't even know they were worth anything. Was there a price guide for those things? That's too funny!

          No - but I'd win them - and just sell them back. So there was some profit there.

            I know what your talking about BURT. I bet you felt like you lost everything when you lost the Princess Di beanie! I once gave my girlfriend that same beanie for some occassion (Sweetest Day or some B.S.) and I remember the look in her eyes when she saw it I got lucky that night! Wonder what that beanie is worth today?
