Shown here are my very first BB cards. I was 8 years old in 1947 when I started collecting them. My sister and I pulled many of these cards from
BOND BREAD packages. And, my neighborhood buddies and I traded cards till most of us were certain we had completed this 48-card set.
Here are 6 of my original cards. I was very fortunate that my folks saved my Sportscards and my Lionel trains while I was away in the Air Force.
The true ROOKIE cards of these guys...…
