 First prewar card I ever bought, maybe 1979 or so, it's what sent me down this crazy road I'm on. I still have it. They say you can't take it with you? I'm taking this one with me. -Al ETA I guess Photobucket is watermarking all my images now because I don't pay a fee. Sorry about that. Last edited by Al C.risafulli; 07-25-2019 at 07:23 PM.

Looks like you and I nicely bookend the entire price scale. At least until Ted Z shows something he got from a 1 cent pack back in the day, which will totally bounce me from the cheap end spot. Anyone buy a Wagner or something as their first card?

When I was in college my roommate showed me this card and explained what it was (my collecting experience had been limited to Garbage Pail Kids and 89 Score and Pro Set football cards as a kid), I was so fascinated and have been hooked ever since.
He actually gave it to me earlier this year when I was in Dallas for Leon's show, so have not had it long but it's the card that started it all for me.

This was my first prewar card from 20 years ago and the beginning of my Jersey City collection. Still have it and plan to keep it forever.

If this is a longevity contest, I'm probably the winner
I pulled these cards out of BOND BREAD packages in the Summer/Fall of 1947. I have the complete set 0f 48 cards, so the 1st one may be any one of these shown here (or any one of the other 42 cards in this set). It was 72 years ago, and I cannot remember which BB player was the first.  TED Z T206 Reference .

This was my first vintage Lefty Grove card. I bought it about 32 years ago in 1987 from a dealer who advertised in the Sports Collectors Digest.

Collected junk wax as a kid, this was my first 'real' purchase, 9 years ago now. Being from Atlanta & growing up Braves fan, its my favorite card.

I'm not sure how long I have "owned" this. My Grandpa used Polar Bear tobacco and this was his. We found it along with a Cy Young Portrait and a Joe Kelley (both Polar Bears) in his dresser drawer after he and Grandma passed.
We were NEVER allowed to go into his bedroom and we NEVER knew he had them. We figured that since he only had daughters and too many grandkiddies, he just kept them rather than try to decide who he should give them to. They were "given" to me with the proviso that they never be sold - they NEVER will be...

I've posted this before on a similar thread some years ago. Circa 1979...A 1933 Goudey Goslin port from a baseball magazine that had an ad page with a bunch of Goudey cards listed with prices. I was a whale for cards even back then, I think I paid $15 or so for it with lawnmower money. Next time I'll tell the time I had my aunt pay $20 for a vg/e 1959 Topps Early Wynn around 1981....Greg Morris cards just sold a similar one on ebay for $1.40
