Well for me , I was drawn in when a buddy of mine needed to raise funds for books back in 89 or 90 . I bought a 5000 ct. of football cards from him for 30 bucks. About a week or 2 later a cousin of mine said he would trade me a box of baseball cards for my football cards.
Well when i got the cards home and searched , I found a 1971 Roberto Clemente . It was beat up but I thought it was cool . Still have it today.
After really enjoying the cards for a while I started checking out card shops in the area and started picking up the oldest cards I could find . Didnt really care about condition at the time. I just thought it was cool to have really old cards.
Nowadays I collect (slowly) T206 and T210 cards because it fascinates me to think about where these cards have been and what these cards have gone through the last 100 years.
