Mom Chucked Mine - Who has assembled and owned a set for the longest time?
I hesitate (briefly) in starting this thread, because there will be a few rules (Hi Al & Ted). Do you currently own a set that you assembled 10 or more years ago? Quite a few hands went up. How about 20 years ago? Quite a few hands went down. Get the idea.
I’ve collected off and on for more than 60 years, but as a child, I never completed a Topps set from the fifties. And to make matters worse, when I visited my parents as an adult and asked about my “old baseball cards”, you guessed it, my mom had chucked them. So let’s keep this as simple as possible. 1. Post a card from a set that you assembled a long time ago that you still own. 2. What set is it? 3. What year did you complete it? 3.5. (Optional) Subtract your answer to #3 from 2018. 4. Add a comment if you choose, such as the last card you needed to complete the set, etc. That’s it. Anyone greater than 50 years will be listed. The current leaders are Ted Z 67 50sbaseball 60 grainsley 53 What could cause disqualification? You no longer own the set. You have a 1988 Donruss set that you assembled 40 years ago. A T206 set with less than 524 cards. If your answer to 3.5 is larger than your age.
