That's really cool. My oldest Clemente is 1959. I assembled the entire 1959 set which I really enjoyed. Yea, I'm not sure what I'll do with my collection. I have a daughter and a wife and neither would appreceate the cards in any way......and would probably sell at a loss.
It's interesting that I collected starting in 1971 as a kid and quit in maybe 75. I lost all my cards when I got my own apartment at 17 and left them behind. In the 80's I bought about 150 cards from the 70's.
In very early 2018 I started playing OOTP seriously for the first time, even though I had bought several earlier versions and played a little. My buddy and I started a historical Twins season in 1961 and I thought it would be fun to buy some 1961 Twins cards off Ebay. I got hooked and now I have about 30 thousand cards including all the topps regular cards from 1968-1989 and lots of tobacco cards.....really has been a fun hobby.
