1961
If I was a kid in 1961, I think I would have quit collecting after opening pack after pack of those manager cards. Or those head shots like Haywood Sullivan. They're horrible...really, really horrible. Luckily I came along in 1967, and started buying packs in 1974. Not that 1974 was great, but it was clean, with a lot of full body poses, and some good action shots. And of course, I followed that up with 1975, with the crazy colors. 1961 followed up with the horrible woodies of 1962. For all of you guys that started collecting back then, and managed to power through it, I salute you.
