I don't think I ever heard of a baseball card until my older sister found one in a library book in 1986 and let me have it. In retrospect that was very nice of her since it was a Ruth card (modern), and she was the big Ruth fan in the family. Anyway I decided I wanted more baseball cards so I got my dad to bring me to a card show a couple of weeks later at the Metairie Holiday Inn. I bought a 1986 Fleer Baseball's Best card of local favorite and promising rookie Will Clark and a 1972 Kellogg's Ty Cobb then a pack of 1986 Donruss.
First prewar card wasn't until about 16 years later, a '33 Goudey Maranville.
