My mom lit my collecting fire. She collected as a kid in the early 50s and started me off as a 4 year old in the mid 70s.
Then in about 1983 or 84 I found a card show that came to my home town near Green Bay, WI. There was about 10 to 12 dealers and they had cards from the 50s and 60s that I had never seen before. I don't remember any pre-war stuff there. Man those were great shows. Everytime I smell cigar smoke it brings me back there.
I also remember ordering cards for Christmas and my birthday from Kit Young and Bill Henderson. I wish I would have saved those catalouges.
