25 years ago or so....
T205 McGraw (had a polar bear back) - $25.
I went to a local card show with my mom.
I loved Topps baseball cards / bought them every year from the candy man (was just a kid then) and couldn't believe the little size of the T205 card.
I was hooked. And I went to more shows looking for more little cards.... eventually buying any T206 I could find with the Polar Bear back.
I had a looseleaf binder / denim material on the outside.... and in bubble letters on the cover of the binder I wrote "TABACCO CARDS" (I wasn't a good speller, sorry Barry). I would carry that around with me to every show.
I'd like to say I have been collecting ever since, because I probably would have an incredible collection if I did.... but I took a long break and really just got back into collecting in the last 3 or 4 years or so.
