"I was baseball crazy around 5th grade and I got a book at a school book fair about the great pitchers, including Johnson, Mathewson and Hubbell among others. I had been collecting postwar Topps cards every year and when I read those stories I decided to get cards from the old timers. First it was the 1972 Kellogg's ATG 3-D cards from Danish-Go-Rounds [don't ask], then the 1973 Topps alltime leaders cards, then The Complete Book of Baseball Cards by Steve Clark, and finally the 1976 Topps Alltime Allstars. I got my first "real" prewar card a year later, a T206 Johnson I have to this day."

Great point that had slipped my mind!!!! I had those 72' kellogs 3d all time greats too...and I remember being so intrigued by the 73' all time leader cards...AND the 76' sporting life greats cards which I'm sure helped direct me to vintage!!!
