I collect mainly pre-war now. Right now it is Diamond Stars. I complete my 1972 set recently. Still have some holes in 1958 and 1956. Dad was more of a "motor-head" than a sports guy. But he took me to well over 30 Met games. And dragged me to the OLD Yankee Stadium in 1972 before they remodeled it. We were Met fans. Dad was a great wood-worker. He carved and built model ships. The USS Constitution, The Flying Fish, ... He tried to never buy a part but make his own. He learned out to cut out and sew his own sails. Even at age 80 he had great sight that he tied the riggings.
I am not actively collecting right now as I still have 1 more child to finish college. So I will get back into after the college bills are paid. But I still like reading about your collections.
