That is a good estimate. I remember being so excited about the approach to Ripken's epic 2131 game. That game was on Sept 6 1995. I would have turned 13 on Sept 4th. My main collecting focus rooting from that time became Ripken.
What was neat was that my dad's collecting focus was Tony Gwynn. So it was great that they got elected in the HOF the same year and we made our first trip to the HOF that year (though later in the year, not the day of the induction).
