I had a baseball card calendar at seven years old and was immediately drawn to the older cards on it. That same year I went to the Hall of Fame and read the yearbook cover-to-cover on the ride home, then went to Old Timer's Game at Yankee Stadium on tickets I picked out for my birthday.

So eight-year-old me wouldn't be surprised that I had so many pre-war cards. He wanted a Ewing/Mascot Old Judge for a year at that point, so he'd be happy to find out I've had one for about 20 years. Didn't waste much time getting one of those. He didn't know a Williamson/Mascot existed, so that would have been a nice surprise to show him.
