To be very specific, I'm a pure card collector. I'm not a sport memorabilia collector meaning I don't go after autographs, game worn jerseys, signed or milestone baseballs, etc. But as an unapologetic pure card collector, I derive at least as much delight from scoring Checklist cards and wrappers as I do from scoring almost any star card.

These are the Baseball card sets at which I'm pecking away:

1954 Topps
1955 Topps
1957 Topps
1958 Topps
1959 Topps
1960 Topps
1961 Topps
1962 Topps
1962 Post Cereal
1962 Canadian Post Cereal
1963 Topps
1965 Topps

Admittedly I've barely gotten a start on the 1954, 1955, 1965 Topps and 1962 U.S. Post Cereal but as for the other sets I bought large lots of EX/MT cards from Kit Young around the turn of the century. Here are some shots that I have handy:

1957 Topps



1958 Topps





1959 Topps





1960 Topps





1962 Topps





1962 Canadian Post



I ate box after box of Sugar Crisp in the spring and summer of 1962 not realizing that a set couldn't be completed from eating only one kind of cereal!

1963 Topps





1965 Topps



In addition this ad which ran on the last page of the DC comic mags which hit newsstands in April 1962 (typically with June cover dates) left me salivating and even more eager to buy bags of Shirriff Potato Chips:



(Not mine.)

I acquired a Canadian Shirriff 200 coin set in the late 1980's:



But I'd still be interested in adding one of those American Salada-Junket 180 coin or 200 coin presentation sets to my collection:



The holder isn't important to me but I want uniformly coloured plastic backs for each team. Such uniformity is very difficult to get collecting the Salada-Junket coins piecemeal since there were evidently several production runs.
