The 1973 Topps World Series recap cards are my earliest memories of cards and definitely got me interested in baseball. I was only 7 years old when they came out, but I vividly recall thinking the A’s colorful uniforms and white shoes were cool and different from every other team. As a result, I became an A’s fan and subsequently a Reggie Jackson fan as he became, arguably, the face of 1970’s baseball. Although I am a set collector, I do still have a graded Reggie collection and enjoy looking at his cards often. Growing up on North Georgia, I was the only A’s and Reggie fan around, but these were good times and they all started with those ‘73 World Series cards.
