What made you start collecting Gwynn? I just bought a binder and 100 pages for my Gwynn cards :mrgreen:

One of my first Minor league games was here in Washington, I was 12 or so, a small town called Walla Walla. Gwynn went 5 for 5 (Gwynn545!)
After the game I shook his hand, never thought of getting an autograph, and was pretty excited the next year or so, 1983 Topps came out, I remember vividly pulling his card. Since that very first card, Gwynn cards were kept separately.
Gone down hill ever since... :lol: Never thought about collecting everything of Gwynn until 1996...Then in 1997 I let go of that dream with all of the limited, low # stuff I never thought I'd get.... Slowed down (stopped, actually) as the kids were young and needy , picked it back up 2003-2004 and here I am.
Never linked my bucket before, but if it works: http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u65/gwynn545/
A little unorganized...

I doubt I will reach 4,200 cards. I probably have about 300. Maybe when I graduate school and become a millionaire one day LOL
