Bob Parry on baseball cards

Outfielder Bob Parry played four seasons in the Oakland A's organization. In 380 games he hit .254 with 24 HR and 185 RBI. Now the head baseball coach at Poway High School, he kindly answered my questions about baseball cards.

"I collected baseball cards for as long as I can remember.  I had tons of cards going back to the 60's.  Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Pete Rose rookie cards, to mention a few.  Two years ago my friend's son was stealing his credit card to buy cards off Ebay.  I decided to give him all my cards.  I told him, I would give them to him under one condition, that he never sell them.  I hope he still has them.  I will check."

Thanks!
