For all those people who don’t think youngsters buy packs of cards anymore, brothers Sal, Jude and Jaryn Polit-Moran of Dallas, Penn. one-upped all those naysayers. This group of 12, 10 and 7-year-olds, respectively, recently completed a set of 1934 Goudey baseball cards.

Quite an accomplishment considering when I was their age, I couldn’t even spell basbal kardz … (maybe I still can’t)☺

I had a chance to chat with Sal and Jude today via the telephone and they filled me in on their impressive venture.

According to Sal, their uncle got them involved in the vintage card hobby, but made it clear that they used their own money.

Between allowances, Christmas money, birthdays and funds they made by selling some of their old toys, the Polit-Moran boys ponied up more than $3,000 in the span of about two and a half years to complete the set.

When asked if they are done collecting and satisfied with just the ’34 Goudey set, young Sal put me in my place:

"We're probably gonna keep it for a couple years and get appreciation on it and then sell it,” he said. “After this we might save up some more money and buy a Sherry Magee (T206) card. After that we are gonna sell the Magee and get even more money and buy a (Eddie) Plank (T206 card) and then maybe in 30 years we will be able to make enough money to buy a (Honus) Wagner (T206)."

Now that would be a lot of allowances!
