Like most in the early 70s I opened pack after pack of Topps cards. Started with the black border 71s-I was six. Continued in to the late 80s. I always wanted a card of Ty Cobb. That happened in 89 or 90 and it was a bat on t206-started going to the Philly show and slowly picking up random 206 cards and some wer not even 206 because I was clueless. Then came the internet, education and ebay . The tough backs started in the later 90s and hard core in 2000...
