One of those years I got an Edmonton Oilers hockey jersey & I pretty much wore it every day that I could - to school, to my friends houses etc. I was especially proud to wear it when the pond nearby froze over & I got to play pond hockey with the other kids from the neighbourhood. <br /><br />Eventually I outgrew the Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571375359883595655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152568678469239001.post-22389473561372504212010-12-19T18:39:37.795-05:002010-12-19T18:39:37.795-05:00I didnt get into baseball cards until the mid 80&#...I didnt get into baseball cards until the mid 80's when I was closer to 20, but I built models as a kid. With 8 kids in my family though it wasn't too frequently that I got them, but when I did...oh boy! One Christmas when I was around 11 I got 2 huge, full rigging sailing ship models, the USS Constitution AND the Cutty Sark. One alone would have been enough to blow me away.

What they did was bought a stuffed Garfield and put it in a box. Of course it was too small and too light to be a Nintendo.
