Similarities w/ Ted Z!
Besides being just about the same age, from the same area of the country and having very similar late '40's-'50s collections from our youth--yet another likeness surfaces!
All my cards (along w/ all my other "stuff") were stored in cigar boxes, then into whiskey cases and into the cool, dry attic off the bathroom when I left home for the South in 1958.
I had told my Mother to leave my "junk" alone and when I returned back North in the '80s everything was just as I left it! The card boom had started & I eventually dug everything out, sorted into sets and proceeded to get back in the hobby.
I have been selling 1950's Sport & Non-Sport duplicates & unwanteds on EBay since 2001 while retaining just about all of my early sets.
