I collected Canseco, Gooden, Mattingly, Bo, McGwire, etc. as a kid in the mid- to late-80s. Now I collect cards going back to 1886. All it took to get there was time, an interest in sports/U.S. history, and money. When I got that Jack Glasscock Allen & Ginter in hand for the first time, it changed everything for me. Hopefully subsequent generations have the same experience.
