Wow. i was 7 years old and had yet to open my first pack of cards - a 1961 pack, clear if I remember, with a Billy Williams RC, with a piece of gum stuck to that card.

How did someone do that without a word processor in 1961?

Thanks for posting these, Leon. I think Card Comments is my favorite hobby publication from that era. It was professionally done (by Gordon Taylor, a leading dealer, who had a staff to help him), and was more substantial than The Card Collector, the other dealer-published card publication at the time. It had a lot more ads, which are the most interesting part for us today. It doesn't have the cutting-edge research of Card Collectors' Bulletin or Sport Hobbyist, but it gives a really good picture of what the hobby was like for most people.

Small world, one of the "New Collectors" from that issue has been buying items from my ebay store of late so there are still some of the Old-Timers out there that are still collecting! That was fun to see!
