Oldtimers on this board?

I'm a leading-edge boomer, so it was Topps cards of the late 1950s for me, but not in any methodical way or thinking of my cards as a "collection." We did trade them, put them in the spokes of our bikes, and flipped them against the wall. I just liked seeing pictures of and learning about the ballplayers I heard about on the radio or saw in the occasional game on TV, along with the stats, cartoon, trivia questions, etc. The gum wasn't bad, either, though not my favorite. I also had some pennants, pins, scorecards (we always kept score) and other things bought at the ballpark. I got into collecting memorabilia of my team in the late 1970s, then became a dealer in the 1990s. It's been a lot of fun.
