My childhood collection started with 1966 Topps - I was 7 years old.
When I found the collecting hobby through ads in Sporting News and Baseball Digest around 1970 I found I did not have high numbers for 1966 and 1967 - but had them beginning 1968.
By the time I got to junior high, I found out one of my friends had a few high numbers in 1967 - apparently the cards made it to at least the grocery store near his house that my mom never went to.
This was Youngstown Ohio suburbs.
We were also one of the markets that got the entire 1973 set in a single series.
