Well what old card got you interested in old cards? If it wasn't T206's, how long thereafter before you got a T206?? And do you have any T206's now???
I think most collectors start with contemporary cards. Then they might work their way back a bit. Then, if they continue to expand their collecting range, they leap back to a favorite year or card style. Either that gets them to vintage cards, or their interest in the game and game history gets them there. A kid knows about the 'Wagner' card. And while they can't own one maybe, they can buy a card from the same 'set' (which is what we're discussing here, or were, until I was jumped).
