BOWMAN's, LEAF's, TOPPS's, etc. from 1947 - 1952. From 1977 to 1981, I concentrated on completing those sets. Then in 1981, I attended my first major Show at Willow Grove,
and a whole new world of collecting was opened to me....pre-war cards.

Thanks,

Hi Ted, It's interesting how some things are similar but also different because of a different generation. I collected cards in the early 1980's when I was 9 and stuck with the current issues. Then in 2008, I found Net54 (the original website) and just like you, a whole new world of collecting was opened to me....pre-war cards. I learned a lot about the T206 set while reading your posts from the previous years, all the way to current times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are one of the reasons I got into the T206 set. Now I'm out there sharing knowledge to others.
