AnsonI thought it would be interesting to see how some of you got into collecting vintage cards. Also, what was your first true vintage card?
I grew up collecting the cards from the time, 70's and some early 80's. While over at my next door neighboors, I noticed he had boxes upon boxes of 60's cards in his garage. I explained to him what he had and, for the education, he gave me a Mantle and a few other cards.
While in school, I started working for the local sportscard store to help keep myself afloat. I was turned on to the prewar stuff by my boss and picked up my first prewar card (a clean, Mcbride T206). Since then, I have collected players that I have interest in and have started trying to build this pesky E101 set.
