+1. As a kid, the first set I collected was 1955 Topps, but the first set I went after with great gusto was the 1956 Topps - I really liked this set. In the late 1980's, I resurrected my childhood collection that Mom, bless her, didn't toss out. I learned of a card show and went to see what it was all about, and I discovered that baseball cards existed long before WWII. Before long, I was hooked on pre-War cards almost exclusively. I encourage you to give a pre-War set a try, but be careful, you too might get hooked!

Welcome to net54 and pre-war card collecting.

I would like to try some pre war cards out but I would have no clue where to start! At least I know a little about post war. Like you said, I have lived most of life under the rock that cards started after the war. Lol. After I get a little further down the road on this 56 set I might reach out to y'all to help try out some pre war.
