This is a great thread that brings back great memories for me. I started collecting in the 80's and remember that they would have random pop-up shows at the Poughkeepsie Galleria in NY where I picked up my first card, a 1948 Bowman Pete Reiser. No idea why I was drawn to the card but I still have it in my collection and recall my Dad seeing the excitement on my face as he paid the dealer.
I subsequently became friends with a security guard at the local country club who was a huge Yankees fan and when I wasn't in school, I'd be at the club and we'd be talking about cards. He had a friend whose son wasn't interested in cards and gave me a huge lot of 60s cards for free. I recall Joe offering me another lot that included a bunch of 60's Mantles, a Jordan and Gretzky rookie for $100 but that was an astronomical sum for a kid! So many great memories that are rooted more in the interactions with fellow collectors versus the actual cards themselves.
