Slightly OT- You never know what kind of collection your neighbor has.

My dad is age 93 ( born 1922), he collected the 1933 Goudey's and remembers trying to complete the set, but couldn't get the # 106. When he returned from WWII all his cards had been thrown out. He told me, he never knew tobacco cards existed when he was growing up in the 1930's . Just like me in the 1950's, all I knew was TOPPS, I never would have heard of Goudey's as a kid in the '50's.

This is interesting. I wonder if the vast majority of adults in this era who collected as kids never thought enough of their collecting days to share their memories with their children?
