Ditto. Spent many an hour on my front porch playing pro draft with my neighbor. Seems like there was a game card that assigned a value of 10 (out of 100) because the player "refuses to play on sundays"
Started collecting as a second grader in 1972. Baseball, Football, Basketball. This continued with a vengeance thru high school and college. took about 15 years off starting in early to mid 90's when the family started to grow, back in it and discovered pre-war in 2009.
Similar memories to others: riding my bike to "The country store" and buying pack after pack of 76 topps baseball.
Easter basket was always filled with packs of cards instead of candy.
Mom always came home from grogery shopping with a few packs for me.
I hated having to go clothes shopping with her, but there was always the draw of getting to go to woolworth and rummage thru their bins full of rack packs looking for the best players............
