My first was a T206 George Hunter from the BST. Shortly thereafter I went to my local card shop and bought 2 raw Schulte T206's (that I still need to get graded). This was roughly 2 years ago, maybe a little longer. Before then I had been strictly modern. I sold the majority of my modern cards, and now I have 93 T206's including 2 Cobbs. Damn this is fun.
I remember my first National in Chicago in 1993. I was with my dad and we walked by countless tables full of vintage cards. I was looking for Ken Griffey Jr. singles. Griffey is still my favorite player, but how I wish I had paid attention to the pre-war cards then. Oh well.
