Like my fellow sexagenarians (not what you're thinking, you dirty boys) Jacklitsch and T-Bob, I've collected cards that I once ripped from packs as a lad in the fifties. To date I have put together '53, '55 and '57 Topps sets in mid-grade condition. I also have '50 and '51 Bowman sets which pre-date the days when I was cognizant of baseball but which are really fine looking cards. My collecting focus is mostly pre-WW1 these days. I am not planning on putting together any other post-WW2 sets but I do occasionally like to pick up a nice "modern" card if the mood strikes.
