In 1979, Clifton Garmrath's grandfather took a chance on his grandson when he loaned him $3,000 to buy a box of cardboard cards with pictures of baseball players on them. Within six weeks, Clifton had paid his grandfather back running Arkansas' first ever sports card shop in the Center Hill area of Paragould, AR. Decades later, Clifton has more stories to tell than we have time to record. He has had dinner with Joe Dimaggio, was friends with Mickey Mantle's son, had a private signing with Stan Musial, visited James "Cool Papa" Bell in his home, and hosted Bob Gibson for a card show.
