I had collected as a kid (1960-64). I stopped in 1965 ("baseball cards are for kids") but I would buy 1 pack each year just to see what that year's design looked like. Whwn I bought my 1973 pack, there was a Clemente card (he had been killed the previous winter in the plane crash). At the time I had no clue how cards were printed so I thought it was odd that Topps had a card of a dead player.
