54 was the first set I collected as a kid. You know how "first loves" are! As I matured, I fell for an "older" one. 53 just got lost.

Welcome Tigerfan!
I recently completed my 54 Topps set, probably my favorite and most certainly my favorite to put together. I was born in 1970, so...haha...not a lot of 54 Topps memories as a kid although I did get Jim Robertson of the Phillie A's in 1982 in NRMT (cost me TWO 81 Charboneau's and a stack of 79 Doubles, haha) and worshiped the card in my youth. It was a Philadelphia A for crying out loud! It is one of the only remaining cards in my current collection (outside my beat up 79 set) and is the cornerstone of my set. My question to you...after being obsessed with this issue for quite some time now...do you have any cool stories or can you share your memories of the 54s? I love hearing perspectives from those that lived them...thanks! About 15 of my 54s were obtained form a collector who bought them originally from packs from a little convenient store in Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle ( I live just north of there) and he told me stories of digging for Ted Williams cards...pretty cool. I love the fact I am 2nd owner and have provenance on a few...
