I've always suspected a correlation between the enormous popularity of Larry's book in the years following its publication in 1966 and the emergence of a substantial hobby collecting the cards and memorabilia of that era not long thereafter. In my case, I picked up a copy in the small used book section of a comic book store I frequented, and it literally changed my life.
