An old time dealer back in the 80's at a card show in St. Louis. He had a ton of E cards that I had never seen before in plastic sheets in a dusty binder. I was transfixed and hooked.

[triwak]

As a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, I had a decent start on a HOF collection, but didn't really know what was possible for the earlier players. Started looking into it about 6 years ago and these were my first 3 prewar. Hooked ever since. Cool that someone mentioned the same T202 earlier!
