Nice thread. I started collecting baseball cards in 1954 at age 9. I played little league baseball in Burbank, California and I always looked forward to going to see the Hollywood Stars at Gilmore Field. I can remember like it was yesterday riding my bike down to the neighborhood corner grocery and buying a pack of cards ( I loved the hard gum ! ) and I also would buy a dill pickel out of a jar. My favorite player in 1955 was Dale Long and I would trade cards to get his. I can fondly remember getting my shoebox out and arranging the cards into teams. I never thought of it as completing a set only adding teammates. About 1956 I started collecting travel decals and to this day I think I have one of the finest collections of pinup travel decals from the 50's.
At age 12 a beautiful pinup was just more appealing than another Spook Jacobs card  .
