Great stories, I would love to keep them going!
Mine is all about 1971 Topps FB.
Anyone who knows me, knows my fascination with the set.
It started in the autumn of that year with the neighborhood boys. First set I ever tried to get all of them...I had just turned 9 years old.
They cost a dime a pack, and I’d do chores to get a couple dimes here and there. They all went to cards. I did a lot of leaf-raking in those days ...I’d do a football field sized yard for a pack of football cards
I got a few packs under the tree that year. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about those days except for being obsessed with FB cards. And 46 years later, I would love it if there were more 1971 Topps FB under the tree!
( I have 15 full sets and binders compiled for 14 more sets. I am a few dozen stars from having 29 sets. I’ll keep going too...)
