1973, 3rd grade

I know I collected in 72 as evidenced by having most of the set from my childhood, but my first memory is of grouping the 73's by teams, laying a team out on the shag carpet in our living room in their positions on the diamond, propping the world book encyclopedia's up to form the outfield fence, Putting their Opponents in batting order, each batter's cards like a ramp off the floor and flicking a small wad of paper out onto the field, playing an imaginary game between teams.

Of course the Reds always won and Joe Morgan's card was the most ragged after a "season"
