Hi Bob

My 2 teenage Daughters started collecting BB cards in the 1970's. I credit them for getting me to start collecting Sports cards in 1977. We went to my parent's house and found
in the attic a "treasure chest" of all the cards from my youth.
BOWMAN's, LEAF's, TOPPS's, etc. from 1947 - 1952. From 1977 to 1981, I concentrated on completing those sets. Then in 1981, I attended my first major Show at Willow Grove,
and a whole new world of collecting was opened to me....pre-war cards.

Thanks,
