My first vintage cards I obtained when I was 10 years old. I had:
1979 Topps Walter Payton
1975 Topps Hank Aaron card#1
1975 Topps Bucky Dent All Star Rookie
1969 Topps Reggie Smith
1969 Topps Johnny Bench A.S. card
1963 Topps Bobby Richardson reprint that I swore was real back then
1962 Topps Warren Sphann
1955 Bowman Don Larsen
I was very vintage card deprived I mainly just spent my time drooling over the black and white photos in Beckett Magazine or drooling at the local card shop. I still have the 75 Aaron, 75 Dent, 69 Bench but the rest were all stolen from me by other kids. My mom bought the Aaron, Bench, and Smith card for Christmas because she knew I wanted a 54 topps Hank Aaron but she could not afford it so she did the best she could, and because of that I charish those cards because of how special it was to me that she tried to make me happy. Too bad punks stole my 69 Reggie Smith that she bought for me!
