The 1989 Upper Deck Griffey Jr got me hooked on modern. A T206 Killian Portrait got me hooked on Vintage!

For a split-second, I thought they made a card for EVERY game I watched.
1964 Topps- World Series Game 1- Koufax Strikes Out 15 - PSA-8.jpg

1971 Topps Clemente was the card that started it all for me.

Nope, none of the 1st cards. Had complete sets 1967 thru 1990 all sold years ago, collecting interests changed.

I had baseball cards. Got into them pretty good in 1980. I think Burger King gave out cards in 78 or 79 , but they were Yankees and we were Mets fans. Drakes gave out some. For the life of me, I have no idea where my uncut Drakes sheet is. Probably from 81 or 82. I remember being disappointed it came in an uncut sheet. I remember being very disappointed it was bent. Mom was pretty good with my stuff, but that one is long gone.
My uncle gave me a ‘66 Koufax that I still have. My only Koufax to this date. Should have bought the 55 back in the day. The one that got me hooked on T206? A beat up old Irv Young. One of my favorite cards in the collection. Bought it for $8. Thought i was robbing the dealer that sold it to me...

Funny thing is, the card that got me hooked was a 1980 Ricky Henderson rookie card. I paid ~$4 for it out of my own money in 1982 at the newly opened card shop in my town. I was 8/9 years old. I still have it and the condition is not superb, but that led to my life long collecting bug. I only wish I had developed a love of pre war much earlier.
