I started collecting cards around 1938
in Rochester, MI, and although I was fanatic about the Detroit Tigers, the local convenience stores did not carry baseball, but did carry wartime sets of airplanes, naval ships. I had to do this on a nickle a week allowance or an occasional gratuity from a visiting relative. I hope I still have those cards.
My Detroit Tiger collecting activity was confined to cutting out pictures and box scores from the newspapers and scrapbooking. Things picked up in 1941 when I had an early morning Detroit Free Press paper route. And I mean early, I was through by 6:15 AM, rain, sleet or snow.
