The Ryan/Koosman rookie card was what first got me interested in cards, but I recall it taking a while to grab one--maybe 20 years after I first saw one? The first card I got that made a meaningful difference in my collecting was a 51 Bowman Mantle. I'd purchased a few Mantles previously (the 1960 Mantle/Boyer being my favoreits), but this sent me chasing the Mantle master set. Now I'm one "card" away from completing my version of the set and cannot wait to post my final vintage card (for a while anyway).
