The 1974 set brings back SO many memories. My allowance was 25 cents a week back then (I was 8, turning 9 in the summer), so Topps cards at 15 cents a pack were slow in coming. The only way I could afford anything was to go through the local neighborhoods and pick up returnable bottles and bring them in to the convenience store and use that money for cards. But, the Kellogg's cards... well, that was something different altogether. I ate about 12-15 boxes of cereal that summer, but I also had people from my church saving cards for me. Every Sunday morning I could count on 2-3 cards being handed to me by some nice lady or teenaged girl. I don't think I even came close to completing the set that summer, but the 74's will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason.
