I had the shaggy bowl cut for a hair style. I played baseball in the back yard from sun up until sun down. It was great being a kid back then I do agree.Chris Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626365939200972124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-67709882873867007202015-12-01T07:29:21.884-05:002015-12-01T07:29:21.884-05:00Great post, N.O.

Being born in 1971 means I missed out on the mid-70s color explosion, for the most part, but I caught the Hostess, the Kellogg's, and the addition of Fleer and Donruss in 1981. My golden era would be 1977 to 1984, I suppose. After that, I get older and more jaded...and here I am today feeling older and jaded. :-)Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-89520928587899875442015-12-01T01:45:52.297-05:002015-12-01T01:45:52.297-05:00Good job.

...Good job. I enjoyed reading about my childhood.<br /><br />It's all relative and we all understand this. I recall an uncle comment in the early 1980's how unfortunate it was for "today's kids not able to experience the beauty and happiness of his childhood" and how "simple life was at the time." He grew up in a small agricultural village in Mexico during the 1920's.<br /><br />I truly understand his comment and joy for his childhood, but I had 1970s baseball cards during my decade.<br /><br />I enjoyed the post and comments from your readers.<br />AthleticGiganteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993227153949066667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-65514512684309855042015-12-01T00:31:44.092-05:002015-12-01T00:31:44.092-05:00Great post.

I grew up in a time with the Baseball Bunch, NBC game of the week, This Week in Baseball, and listening to games on my transistor radio. I feel a connection to those simpler times when I only had to worry about homework, not bills and work.

My life changed dramatically in 1975, as a ten year old. My mom died and the world around me spiraled out of control. I think I'm still trying to get those years back. Perhaps when I've completed 75 Topps, I will have undone all the unhappiness those years brought. If not, then I'll move on to 1972...1974...acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-92121239581603472122015-11-30T20:16:38.111-05:002015-11-30T20:16:38.111-05:00That Jorgensen is cool...
