A number of things along the way.
late 73, moved to a new town, and the kids were into a lot of stuff, model rockets, bicycles, sports and cards.. Watched my first world series, which was also Willie Mays last.
Next spring, Hank Aaron and 715, and the Hank Aaron special cards showing what older cards looked like.
75 - And the Red Sox got into the world series! They lost, but surely they'd win next year when Rice was healthy. (Yeah, but I was 12)
Somewhere between 74 and 77 I traded for a 1968 card, and got the survivors of my 69 and 71 cards out of the toybox.
Moved to a new town in 77, and there was a whole store with old baseball cards!! And some little ones that looked like tiny paintings. (T206)
Also, the next spring was a big one for cards. Chillee Willee discs, Papa Ginos discs, the usual Topps, Fleer stickers, Rc Cola cans, The usual hostess cards...
Had a few years mostly away, but kept coming back to the hobby every couple years. Found this in I think 2009(That long ago?!)
