Set Collecting
I started collecting in 1962. I had full or partial sets from 1954 through 1981. This included Topps and Bowman. I also had some Post Cereal and Jell-o. When my first daughter was on the way I sold most of them (1986) to buy a house. I kept the Post Cereal and Jell-o cards and decided to collect them as sets. Being a Detroit Tigers fan I kept a lot of the Tigers and have been building team sets.
