Born in 1947, I was buying Topps and Bowman starting 1955, and was absolutely captivated when I saw a 53 Bowman Musial. To me, the most beautiful card ever. Variations were nothing to us, and blurred, miscut cards were thrown away. I traded gum for cards with those certain guys who like the gum better. Can’t brag too much, though, because I traded Whitey Ford and 9 commons for the Smokey Burgess I needed to complete my 1960 set.

I started collecting in 1962. I was 6 years old. I distinctly remember the green tints looking different from the "regular" cards. I also had the 2 different Hal Reniffs and the Babe Ruth card with the same number 139. I had the Tasby with no hat insignia. The one I remember most from the set was Wally Moon. I had the photo of him with the bat and the one with just a head shot. It was the first set I ever completed. I sold the set in 1987 when my second daughter was born. (Doctor bills)
