Fred,
Thanks for the kind words.
My father and I started them in the 80s. From 1946 through 1985, we were probably around 95% complete depending on if the "Who's Who in Sports" and "Annual" editions existed every year through the mid 80s or not.
We stopped collecting in the early 90's. Only recently have I gotten them out and started to scan them.
We got most of them autographed at shows when auto prices we actually reasonable for most people. Williams, Mantle, and Dimaggio were the most expensive at $7 - 10 per item.
He has since passed away, but it brings back a lot of memories of our adventures together when I go through them.
