I am a kid of the 80's so therefore my best hobby memories come from that time as my collection consisted of nearly all cards from that period (with a bunch of late 70s as well).
So, with that said, I never ever got into cards from the 1960s and never sold them when I had my store and never had any interest in them for a PC.
But this past week I had to sort down tens of thousands of cards from the 1960s. And I learned something I never knew.
No one had facial hair. None. Zip.
So it got me looking on COMC and it appears that facial hair did not make its way somewhat frequently onto Topps cards until about 1974 (although sideburns started getting thick a couple years prior).
And then by 1976, it was on.
Nothing grand but to me, I'm pretty amazed that there are still things I don't know about the hobby.
