For me it’s 1963 Topps — a set that presents great color and came dripping with gloss.
I was 10 years old when I bought and put this set together. Walking home from the neighborhood store with several packs, I would open them, throw the wrappers on my neighbor’s lawn and jamb the gum in my mouth. Then, as I recall, the mumbled, repetitive litany went something like…”got em, need em, got em, need em…” Oh the memories of a simple, carefree childhood!
