Default if you started collecting pre war in your 20's (not 1920's)
Posted By: Mike Ernst

I was 24 in 1971 when a gentleman who grew in up NYC and was probably 70+ in 1971 emptied about 1100 tobacco cards (birds, olympic athletes, etc., including about 1000 T205 and T206.) At that point I had all the Topps sets except for some of the 52 high numbers and some of the 51's, and had 48-55 Bowman pretty well done.
It was a natural change, and boy, did those tobacco cards get me hooked! That took me into E101, 102, 98, 90-3, etc.
