Opening several cases of 1985 Topps back in 1998 hoping to pull a PSA 10 Mark McGwire rookie (back when they were selling for about $5k) is actually what got me into vintage cards. My first experience with cards was going to the drug store as a kid buying 1985 Topps wax packs. The rush of nostalgia from opening those 1985 cases got me interested vintage Topps cards which led me to my first vintage purchase, an EX 1952 Topps Willie Mays. Ever since then, I've been hooked on '50s Topps cards.
