Sy Berger, inventor of trading cards as we know them, RIP

[MetalDog]

I don't know about any of the rest of you, but, I spent more money and chewed more gum because of baseball cards than anything else as a kid.  They were perfect!  They fit in your pocket.  Or your spokes.  They lined up perfectly in shoeboxes and drawers.  They had pictures of my heroes and stats to prove their greatness.  Thank you, Sy, for making this little boy happy.
