I put together complete sets of all the Topps baseball sets from 1948 thru 1992 including variations and insert sets. I started with my dad buying me packs in 1972 or so, graduated to buying my own packs, and eventually started hitting dozens, if not hundreds of card stores across the country on my travels (back when every town had at least one). When I got to a point where the only cards I was missing were too expensive for the lovely wife to approve the purchase (yes, I asked) like the Mantle 1952 FTC variations, or "impossible" like the dice game cards, I sold the entire thing and now I'm working on completing the m113 and m114 sets.
