|  Pre-80s Rookie Card Craze? 
			
			As a relatively young collector (I'm 32) I am under the impression that the obsession for a player's rookie card really took off during the mid to late 1980s and that previous generations were much less obsessed with owning the first card of a given player...Is this impression correct? From my understanding there was a modest premium for "rookie cards" for pre-80s collectors but that it was not a HUGE factor as it was for 80s guys and current collectors.  Thanks for your thoughts about your experience/knowledge on this subject.
