Yes, i got started collecting in 1974 , at that time ALL cards come out at the same time , NO series runs , then ? I got $ 5.00 ever 2 weeks for my chores around the house , did meow yards & scooped snow in the winter time & in 1976 I got a paper route , also . 10 cents per pack in 1974 , then . 15 cents a year or two , later , so, around $ 6.00 could get you a whole box of cards back then , now it's a pack at that price ?....LOL I would sell & trade cards at school and with other friends also .The 1st card show I went to was in 1981 & that was SO COOL , back then . Card trading seems to be a lost form , but I still do a lot around here & other places to this day
