I started collecting, for real, in 1988 when I was in 7th grade. There was no card shop in my town, so I'd have to beg for rides to the next town over where the card shop was called Triple Play. I always had an inkling toward the 'older' stuff...but the $1500 price tags on the '52 Mantle was wayyyy too much for me.
Since then I have focused on Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, the 1957 topps set and the 1933 Goudey set.
