My first introduction to vintage cards came from the catalogs from Jim Elder out of Odessa, Fl.

We moved around a lot (I had seven addresses by the time I was 15), so I never had a chance to find card shops. Having the chance to get my hands on a real Bowman card was a huge deal to a preteen in 1976.

I wish I had kept some of those old catalogs.
