I collected 1958 Topps football as an 8 year old, got all the cards, and promptly threw them out.
The only other set I've ever collected is 1961 Topps baseball. Got them all and this time had the good sense to put them away.
Never collected anything else until discovering eBay in 1998. Then got heavily into 50s and 60s baseball, football and basketball cards of my heroes (Mays, Unitas, Chamberlain, et al). Also got into vintage cards of Jewish sportsmen.
