Welcome
Sometime in the 1980's, a village store owner in a rural Ontario town, decided to sell baseball cards. Long story short, it resulted in the creation of this website.
Where it all began...
It was the summer of 1987 that the owners of this site first spent allowance, chore money and any loose change at ‘Cortina’s’, on the iconic wood grained 1987 Topps cards of that season.
The rest is history, that over time, will be archived on The Flash/Frost Card Board (FFCB).
