When I attended my first card show in 1973 I had complete sets from 1964 65 (needed 6 or 7 to complete 1966) 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972. My Dad had his cards from when he was a kid some 39's 40's Complete 1941 Playballs. He also had Complete 1948 and 1950 Bowman sets, but needed some 49 High numbers. By 1975 We were completed the Bowmans and all the Topps except 1952. We also had an E95 Set Tip Top Pirates complete 1940 Playball Complete ( purchased from Paul Pollard at First philly show at Spring Garden) 1934 and 1936 Goudey. By 1977 1935 Goudey 1938 Complete low with most High #'s, Diamond Stars and a couple hundred We kept a running total and in 1975 we had about 10,000 cards by 1977 we had 30,000 singles. At That point prices had risen to the point that insted of buying everything we focused on Type cards before 1900 and everything 1930's as I inherited his love for the players and the cards of that era. And about 98% of collectors we knew were all putting together complete Topps runs.
