Those were among the first things I collected as a kid. The last one I needed was the Giants album. I remember it clearly because my friend Nick got one in a pack and spit on it because he already had one. I grabbed it, wiped it off, and kept it. I think I still have that spit-stained album somewhere.
The images on the fronts of the albums are from long before 1969. Some of them appeared as the inset photos on 1962 Topps cards, so they had to be from 1961 or earlier.
Here are pictures of all the albums. You can click on them to see the players pictured inside.
