For me, it happened to be T206's in the local hobby shop when I was 12 years old (1st two cards - Abbaticchio Brown Sleeves and Ewing). I was collecting the regular Topps issues and had no idea about cards made back in 1910 and that they were packaged with cigarettes. From there, I got some of the old Larry Frisch catalogues and Bill Heitman's book "The Monster" and I was hooked. I came close to completing the set around 2000 and then sold off my collection to help pay for our house. I got back into the T206 set in 2011 mainly because my daughter showed a great interest in the cards and now we're up around the 300 card mark towards completing the monster. Great thread topic, by the way.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
