After some wretched struggling with my deteriorated memory cells, I believe the last pack of cards I opened was in 1954 - almost certainly Bowman, because that product was more plentiful in Mom&Pop stores in my small hometown than was Topps. I kind of gave up on card collecting that year because girls became more important for some reason, which I still cannot fathom. I recall being disappointed with the cards, as they were obviously not up to the quality of Bowman's efforts from previous years, so that only reinforced my hormone induced new attitude about hobby priorities.
