Really interesting reading all the stories! I first started collecting soccer cards around 12-13 and would buy them from the UK and wait months for a pack to come. I found a Paul Gascoigne one day and was hooked but then realized baseball cards were much easier to come by. I was rather naive though to the older cards until recently. My first 'real' card was/is a Beals Becker T206 gifted to me by a special friend that definitely has been around but it got me into the older cards and the histories of the players! I find it remarkable these cards and others are still around despite being over a hundred years old.
