Started in 1976 when my dad and his 3 friends opened their card store in Chicago. At age 10 I saw more cards than most people have ever seen total in their entire lives. Cases of Topps cards from the 60's & 70's, literally stacked to the ceiling, 3 deep in multiple storerooms. Tables in the store front made out of unopened cases of cards (3 high and 2 deep with plywood and fabric on top of them). Cabinets filled with complete sets of 50's - 70's Topps, 48 -55 Bowman, Goudey, etc. Put together a 1956 Topps set, hand picked in NM condition and sold it for $300! Tried many times over to stop collecting, just can't do it. I guess it's in my blood.
