When I collected as a kid (1960's) I was aware that there were older cards out there, but only because my dad had some from the mid 1930's. There wasn't really any good way to collect old cards back then. When I got back into collecting, in the 1980's, there were shows available most weekends (sometimes 2-3 a day within a short drive.) That first opened my eyes to what was out there.
Great thread, by the way!
