I started ripping wax around 1980. Found my fathers 1950s cards in grandma's basement a few years later and was hooked. As was stated, people thought vintage was junk. I found cards at yardsales, thrift stores, ect. By 1986 I found mail order companys, and was buying current sets and found opportunities to buy vintage. Being a kid, the prices were out of reach. Around 1987 or 88 cards exploded, everybody was buying and selling cards. In my small area we had 3 card shops that sprung up. People started to travel to shows. The rest is history.
It was a special time, learning about the Golden Era players, viewing the great designs, reliving your parents childhood, for free or short money.
