As one of the lucky ones whose Mom did NOT throw away my childhood card collection, when I started back interested in the hobby in the early 1980s, I had a lot of late 50's early 60s cards to work with. Completed my 1961 card set, except for the hard-to-define, yet alone find, errors and variations. Working on 1959, 1960 and 1963 Topps sets although cost is a deterrent for many of the cards I'm missing! Trying to complete the inserts of 1961: Stamps, rub-offs, and World Series pennants. Working to complete1955 Topps All-American, 1955 Bowman and 1957 football sets.
Favorite Players to collect: Hank Aaron (trying for to 10 list), Mike Schmidt, Richie Ashburn
Favorite Teams: 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers. Milwaukee Braves, Philadelphia Phillies of Vet era and beyond.
Highest priority modern era set to complete: 1992 Fleer without worrying about versions (can't see the dots anyway!) Other partial sets are low priority even if on Want List.
