My first purchase occurred in early November of last year. It was Johnny Bates. Once I held the card, the history behind it, the history of baseball, and, the card's aesthetic appeal had me hooked. The first HOF'er I picked up was Chief Bender (trees in background.) The first truly rare back I picked up was an EPDG. I say truly because I acquired a couple of Polar Bears (my favorite back) and a non-SL Old Mill back before the EPDG.
