This is something that has always drawn me to the early Topps issues. My father was born in 1944, was a huge baseball fan growing up, and collected. These early Topps issues would have been right in his wheelhouse. I get a kick out of owning some of the cards that he likely owned as a kid. Two or three times a year, I'll show him some of my recent acquisitions, and it usually leads to me getting to hear him tell stories of his childhood neighborhood (which I thoroughly enjoy
).
