A ton of "Hatless Wonders" in this set. Among the Twins, and expansion Senators and Angels, tough to find a guy with a hat. Or a hat that's not airbrushed. | ||
This is the first set I 'completed.' I started as a kid when the cards were new and fortunately my mother never threw them away. Actually she never threw anything much away, but that's a different story. When the hobby got hot again in the early 1980s I got all my cards and eventually finished the set. It went in a binder and up on a shelf while I collected a lot of other things. Only recently have I thought about the errors and variations that have surfaced since I worked on the set, so I'm starting to track those down now.

This set is from my birth year. Conservative but nice design.

One of the last '60s sets I started collecting along with the 1964 Topps set. | ||
This is the first set of cards I ever bought. I thought it was neat because some of the packs were wrapped in cellophane. I could see at least two of the cards and I bought packs with cards I needed. I was 9 and I bought them at the local drugstore. I still bought the other packs because of the gum, though!!! |
