Look at that roof line!
One of my favorite places - a long time ago. If you go in there now, you'd think the place was on the verge of going out of business. It is dark and dingy. There are empty shelves. There is weird merchandise.
But, back in the day, it was this! And when it was that, it was there that I selected my first Matchbox car. From then on, trips to Springfield were glorious adventures wherein I might get to pick out another Matchbox! And the collection grew. Birthdays and Christmas meant another Matchbox. What a deal!
About 10 years ago, I sold that collection for roughly $150. I'd like to have one or two of them again, for old times sake, but I'm OK without them.
Now, baseball cards are another matter . . .
