Yeah, Dave - my brother and I used to do the same thing in the '50's. I think there were more trades going on back then because not as many rules and regs limiting them. I can remember sneaking my mother's pinking scissors because of the thickness of the pasteboards, and later shifting over to chopping up Street & Smith yearbooks because it was easier to get a closer match on the cap logos, and then pasting the pics into a huge scrapbook. Great way for a kid to waste time on a rainy weekend.
