In early elementary school around 1981-82'ish I got a baseball card collecting kit at the yearly book fair. This contained around 50 cards from 1978-80, a dozen or so 9 pocket pages, and a price guide that had many photos of Goudey and Play Ball cards. This was the first time I'd every seen photos of cards that old and I was memorized by the 1933-34 Goudeys. Fast forward a few years and I was able to pick up a few Goudey commons at a local card shop and they were the prize of my collection at the time. Around 1990-92 I was in high school and bought my first T206 (Mickey Doolan Batting) over the phone from Sportscards Plus after seeing their advertisement in SCD. I thought that little card was amazing when I got it in hand. I've never really focused on pre-war specifically, and don't buy many cards today, but I'll always remember my first pre-war cards.
