I started collecting in 1965 and 1967 was the only year that I couldn't find the high series.

I grew up in the DC area and I don't believe the high 66 series ever came to the stores I bought at. To this day the cards from that series look less familiar to me. I think 67 did by contrast.

My childhood collection started with 1966 Topps - I was 7 years old.
When I found the collecting hobby through ads in Sporting News and Baseball Digest around 1970 I found I did not have high numbers for 1966 and 1967 - but had them beginning 1968. By the time I got to junior high, I found out one of my friends had a few high numbers in 1967 - apparently the cards made it to at least the grocery store near his house that my mom never went to. This was Youngstown Ohio suburbs. We were also one of the markets that got the entire 1973 set in a single series. |

I started collecting in 1967. I put the entire Topps set together, and then some. Many, many duplicates of basically everybody, by the checklists. Same for 1968 as well.

I love hearing about these type of stories...I was 8 in 1978 and there were no series obviously by then...so hearing about anything pre-1973 is super cool. Please keep them coming...

The last series was the orange ones, and I never even knew it existed until a friend from the other end of town showed me a couple. The only store that had them was his local corner store. Not even the card store got any. |
