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.

Here's my story, and I'm sticking to it:
1. Grew up playing baseball. 2. Collected baseball cards when young. 3. Come from a family with the 'Collecting Gene'. 4. Like history, and in general just like old things. 5. Like creating lists and putting things into order. 6. Was always fascinated by baseball stats, and along with all of the above made me explore the pre-war game and its players. 7. Developed an appreciation for the artistry and varied graphics of the issues. I would be cheating out my destiny if I did not collect pre-war baseball cards. Brian (destiny is not only found in the stars, but the commons as well)
