Good question...
I started collecting in 1984 when my Mom brought home a pack of 1984 Fleer from the grocery store to assist with my boredom during the sumemr break. Never looked back.
I love baseball history, had a couple of cousins who played MLB in the 30s and 40s, and listening to my Dad's stories of his favorite players (Eddie Mathews, Roy Campanella, etc...) helped fuel my interest in the older cards...been lost to the habit ever since.
