Not sure?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure when I started going to card shows..late 80's early 90's.
I remember buying my first pre-war card in an antique shop in Vermont. It was a T201...either Dooin or McLean.
I grew up in the Worcester, MA area and I remember checking out the Rotman Collectibles Auctions which really got me interested in pre-war.
My early memories include going to shows at BC High, Bishop Guertin, Hall's Peabody shows at the Holiday Inn, and shows in Marlboro, MA trade center.
Subscribed to SCD back in the day as well as Lew Lipset's Four Base Hits Catalog and Larry Fritsch's one of a kind catalog.
The days before eBay and slabbing were wonderful!
