If you think that's bad...I was just fine until the day I stumbled across a copy of Ron Erbe/Keith Mitchell's book The American Premium Guide to Baseball Cards in my Middle School library and discovered that there were cards long before the 1979 Topps set. I was in the 6th grade then and have been hopelessly hooked ever since.
It's all the fault of whomever bought that book for the library. Not only was it subversive, but such a book in the hands of a young impressionable American? The horror!
