My dad was born in 1937 as well but on the near North Side of Chicago where he could obtain just about anything he wanted. He collected cards. I suspect he had Bowmans, Exhibits and Leafs from the late 1940's. When I got into collecting in the mid-1970's, we went to my grandmother's house to look for his cards. Her basement was stacked with junk from her entire life, except for my dad's cards. She threw those out.
