What was the first baseball card you ever purchased?
What was the first card you ever purchased? By this I mean paid cash for at a show, from a friend, dealer, etc. Cards from packs don't count.
When I was about 8 I went to a local dealer with my parents. Being from Cincinnati I loved the Reds. I paid $20 for a 1985 Fleer Eric Davis rookie! Didn't turn out to be such a wise investment.
My first vintage card was a fair condition 1933 Goudey Monte Weaver. I got it through the mail from Larry Fristch cards when I was probably 10-11. Not real sure but it was still $5-10 plus shipping at the time. (circa 1993) Even though it was low grade I was fascinated by owning a card that was so old. Still have that card to this day.
