My lasting memory is the pain caused to the roof of my mouth, caused by the scrapping of that rock hard, narrow slab of gum when attempting to chew it. As a kid, my reflex action quickly became to immediately toss the gum out with the wrapper. I now wish I'd kept the wrapper. As for the gum, everytime I see that aged, dingy stain on a nice vintage card, I wish the gum was never a part of the experience.
I'll never get it, a hobby that obsesses over issues such as centering, corner sharpness, and color vibrance embraces those ranced stains on their cards?! Hey, I've got an idea, maybe I can venture over to the B/T/S forum and offer to trade my memory enriching, gum stained cards for clean cards of equal grade.

Cards
When I was opening packs in 1958 and in the years thereafter centering, corner sharpness and color vibrance were not on my radar screen
 It was just a hobby for me then and fortunately nothing more today
