Collecting

i was born in 1950, started collecting in 1957, and have never really stopped. With one exception everything I collect in postwar, because those are the players I grew up with and actually saw play.

I have collected everything listed for Topps in the Standard Catalog from 1948 to 1994. After 1994 I have only collected the regular set, any update to it and all the Heritage sets. I have included an unopened pack and any variations listed in SCD, Beckett or the registry in all the sets

I also have collected Fleer, 1923 ( only prewar ) and 1959 to 2007. Most of the many Fleer sets I have collected from 1964 to 1980 are not catalogued anywhere that I know of except for the Fleer Sticker Blog

Mostly now I just do recurring variants/print defects and unissued Topps test sets.

Mostly what I miss today are those wonderful wax packs and cards that came out of them bathed in gum dust and smelling just right
