I grew up in a small town in the midwest and I was the same as Bruce. I used my lawn mowing money in the 1970's ($3 a lawn) to buy cards and saved the rest. That wouldn't even buy a pack now. Everyone that collected bought that year's Topps packs putting together sets one card at a time and traded with each other to try get cards you didn't have. I didn't know there were any dealers or other ways to get cards. If it wasn't available at the local grocery store, it didn't exist. That was life before the internet.
