A sharp '66 Koufax in a shop when I was probably 10 or 11. It was my first true vintage star card - I had some older ones at the time, but nobody on the level of Koufax. Years later, I realized it was terribly OC left to right. Probably would have topped out at a 6, but I had no clue as a kid. I've heard countless other stories of adult collectors now who didn't even realize their cards were OC as a kid - just further evidence that certain aspects of condition evaluation today are the result of collective bias.
