What an incredible treasure threads like this are. I'm very much interested in the "early" hobby that a lot of this represents. It again reminds me that with baseball cards like many other things - I was born too late. I started buying Topps packs as a 9 year-old in 1986. It was a few years later before I discovered "old" (the word vintage was not yet en vogue...) cards and the ability to buy them at shops, and later - through the mail. My first real treasure was a 1966 Topps Koufax that my Mom ponied-up about $20 for. :-)
