George: Those cut-out cards are really cool. Glad you kept 'em. I'm tempted to take a scissors to my '53 Topps set now. I was kid in the 'fifties so saw some of those ballplayers at Yankee Stadium.
I have a clear memory of my first exposure to baseball cards. I was given a handful, maybe 5 or 6 cards, a mix of '54s and '55s. Distinctly remember a '54 Topps Ernie Banks - I was mesmerized on the spot. By 1957 I was hooked.
All the cards, the Superboy comics and my coonskin cap are presently residing in the Pleistocene layer. I bought this card as a tribute to a boyhood icon.
