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.

Many years back, three very much trimmed '33 Goudeys. I had developed an interest, if not much in the way of knowledge, in pre war cards, due to their beauty and history. When I saw these three, beautiful to my eyes, trim jobs (which in my ignorance at the time, I didn't realize were trimmed), and the extremely low price which they were going for, I figured, ok, time to jump in. Didn't take long to figure out why, the "bargain" price

Still have those three butcher jobs and would never get rid of them, due to their obvious sentimental, if not aesthetic, appeal.

T206 Walter Johnson portrait. My dad grew up in the DC area and told me about times he saw him pitch at Griffith Stadium. When I walked out of the card show with it, I had goose bumps.

33 Goudey Ruth #149 was the start but the T206 Matty with Dark Hat gave me the disease.

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!

From Wayne Miller in around 1982. I had bought a few T206s from him before, but this was the one that really sank the hook.

t205 Wilbur Goode given to me by my step father in about 2002.

A little internet research uncovered a whole set including some of the greats like Cobb, Young and McGraw and off I went.
