Give yourself a year. I don't have kids, but I'm guessing parents still do bedtime stories.

If you do those for your son, look up one from the 1952 set each night from Wikipedia or baseball reference and tell him the story from that player. When you find a player that you like, start a player collection of some sort, even branching out from cards.

Also, congratulations on your collecting accomplishment.

Cheers,
Steve

You can track down one of a kinds from all of the Topps sets from the Topps Vault. For example, the actual drawings used for the cartoons on the backs of the cards...

Pursue at least one non-base Topps set for as many of the years as possible. For example, I would suggest going after the 1978 Burger King Tigers, as it features three rookie cards of should be HOFers (Morris, Whitaker & Trammell) that are much more desirable than their shared 1978 rookie cards...

Buy a luxurious mansion and dedicate each of its rooms to a Topps set. I can't post every room of my Topps mansion here because it would be rude to brag, so here is just my 1975 Topps mini room...

Stop collecting baseball cards altogether and take up another hobby like looking for freakishly large fruit. For example, you could look for gigantic strawberries and photograph them next to regular strawberries...

I don't think I have ever seen a room so equally cool and creepy in my life. That Ernie doll gives me the eebie jeebies.

Conor, that is a George Liquor doll. George sometimes appeared on The Ren & Stimpy Show. He isn't considered creepy by everybody, as you can clearly see...
