I got my first prewar card that I can recall, a T206 Johnson, when I was 11 or 12 (I am 45) at a card show in Anaheim, California. I still have it. Cost me twelve bucks, which was quite a sum for me at the time. The first "old" card I can recall owning is a 1952 Topps Walt Dropo that I got probably when I was 7 or 8. Still have that too, and felt a bit of a twinge of sadness when I heard Mr. Dropo passed away recently.
