My Dad got me into coin-collecting in much the same way you got your son into cards. He would buy sacks of pennies from a gum-ball vendor and we would sort through them for hours - great bonding thing. The beat-up old coins from those days are still the favorites of my collection.

He didn't understand my card-collecting though - I would have the floor covered with cards, sorting by the stats on the back. Unfortunately I threw out all the '68 and older cards when I declared myself an "adult" at the age of 10. I started collecting again immediately the next Spring!
