It's late 1953, you're 8 years old and have a nickel
Let's say it's late summer in 1953 and you've been collecting baseball cards all summer. You've been collecting Bowman cards because you liked how cool the real photos looked.
Now you find out that the new series of Bowman is Black and White. Do you..
A) Continue buying Bowman?
B) Go ahead and switch to Topps cards?
C) Give up and start buying football cards?
As always, the ground rules are...rookie cards mean nothing to you. You have no clue what players might be in either set because there were no checklists. High numbers mean nothing to you. You just collected what you liked at the time.
