The '58 set gets a lot of abuse, much of it deserved. But it holds a special place in my heart as those colorful rectangles were the first cards I laid eyes on. A kid from down the street in my Long Island neighborhood showed up one day with a small handful of them, and I was mesmerized. I remember that moment all these decades later, and it led directly to this lifelong obsession. I built it, I blogged it, I love it!
Long live the Topps '58 set!
