I am sure they did. I didn't start collecting until the mid 60s, but I bought boxes at age 7-8 by saving my allowance. I wouldn't see what would have been different ~15 years earlier. I have an older friend that said he only bought them by the set each year and claimed that included 1952 Topps. His cards were thrown away, so he may be mistaken on the years he had.
