Even though I began collecting new cards in 1953, I never owned a pre-war card until the 1970's when I traded a grocery bag of 1958 Topps dups for about 30 T cards, including a dozen or so T206 HOFers. I've often wondered who got the better end of that deal. Probably me. But there were a ton of Mays, Aaron and Clemente cards in that sack (I kept the Mantles).
