(1) Cards that didn't have each individual year's statistics for the players on the backs of the cards. Hence, of the years I bought Topps cards as a kid, 1955-1960, my favorite years were 1957 & 1959. As a kid, I liked to analyze numbers, which probably explains why I became an accountant for my career.
(2) That I couldn't find my two favorite Wash. Senators, Pete Runnels & Mickey Vernon, in the 1955 Topps set. Years later, I learned they were in the 1955 Bowman set, which wasn't available where I bought my cards as a kid.
