My childhood collecting years were 1968 (when I was 7 years old) - 1974 (when I discovered girls). Still have everyone one of those cards. But one glorious weekend in 1972 (I was 11), a buddy and I found a garage sale while riding our bikes. A man had a HUGE cardboard box containing hundreds of cards from the early '50s - '60s. Selling them for a penny/card. Below is some of what I came away with before he kicked us the hell out of his garage! Wish I had offered him $20 for the whole box - bet he would've taken it. Only spent 24 cents, which is all I had. Not too bad of an investment for an 11 year old.

Apologies for the multiple post-war scans, but this was a fun trip down memory lane for me. :-)
