The moment I was hooked was 1989. Gee, what an awesome year to get started. lol I had bought a few packs of cards before then but not much. I had heard about the 89 Fleer Billy Ripken nasty phrase on the end of bat from who knows where. A day or two after I did I was at a local gas station and notice they had packs of 89 Fleer. I bought one pack just to see and there it was. I was hooked from that moment on. I quit collecting a few years after that. Just within the last year I turned to vintage. Was amazed how cheap 90 year old+ cards were compared to modern shiny stuff. Still love that Ripken though. It will always stay in my collection.
