I too was guilty of tossing my childhood cards. I collected heavily from 1960-64 (ages 8-13). When the 65's came out, I said "baseball cards are for kids" and stopped collecting except for buying 1 pack a year to see what that year's design looked like. In 1966 (now in high school) my family moved from a house to an apartment. My parents said I could bring whatever I wanted provided it didn't exceed a fixed amount of space, so I left the cards in the house for the new family's 8 and 10 year old sons.
