When Alan Bisson hobbled on crutches into his Spokane Valley Sportscards trading shop following knee surgery in March and discovered his windows broken and collectibles missing, it was immediately apparent the culprit was a regular. “They knew what they wanted, and they got it,” Bisson said. Bisson’s fairly certain he knows who stole the favorites of his collection, including several cards featuring the smiling visages of Yankees slugger Mickey Mantle and actress Marilyn Monroe. But four months later no arrests have been made and none of the cards – priced at more than $30,000 – has been returned/ Kip Hll , SR. More here.

Question: Did you collect baseball trading cards? Remember the bubblegum that came with them?
