I'm going to say 1941. The last, and in my opinion, best Play Ball set was on the shelves, and kids could relatively easily obtain earlier cards by harassing their older brothers for their Goudeys and Diamond Stars, and fathers/uncles for their tobacco cards and CJs. Then while kids were collecting these cards brand-new, they were watching Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak and Ted Williams hit .406.
