My first set was 1955 Topps. There were no checklists to let me know about the four missing numbers so I kept buying and buying, searching for those missing cards.
It wasn't until sometime in the early 70s that I realized I had two complete sets and a good start on two others.

The first packs of cards I ever received were 1977 Topps - my mother bought them for me. I was overjoyed to eventually get a Rod Carew card - he was my favorite player, and this was the year he hit .388.
The first set I completed was the 1980 Topps set. I traded cards with friends all summer long, and I kept getting closer and closer to completing the set. Right after school started up in late August, I have a memory of opening a wax pack in the back seat of my parents’ rust-brown Toyota station wagon and there it was, the final card I needed: the elusive Ken Oberkfell. I couldn’t believe the card was actually in my hands. A happy memory.
