In 1988, my dad owned a small convenience store when I was younger and always supplied wax boxes of Topps, Donruss, and Score baseball cards. Every once in a while he would give me a couple of packs to open. Since I was a big SF Giants fan I would always try to find Will Clark cards since he was my favorite player. I didn't get into vintage until the mid 90s when I went to my first major show in SF. I was amazed to see all the Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, and Mickey Mantle cards at all the tables. That's when I started to read up on the history of the game and all the great players. Once I did that, I've been collecting vintage cards ever since.
