Where did you buy your first Pre-War Card ? Which card ?

I wish this wasn't the case, but I believe that my first prewar purchase was a '33 Goudey Danny McFayden PSA 3 on eBay about 7 years ago.

First PWW1 was a T205 Eddie Collins won in a Richard Wolfers auction in 1993. First PWW2 was a 1939 Playball Gehringer from a Kevin Savage SCD as in 1991.

My first Pre-WW2 cards came together in lumpy fashion. I was driven by my folks to a card show near LAX in 1981, and the first dealer inside (yes, I remember it was on the right side) had some beat up old cards in their case. I took them all for $11.00, pretty much all I had to spend. I ended up with:

T206 Mathewson Dark Cap
T206 Johnson pitching
E98 Cy Young
T205 Breshnahan
T205 Wheat (Broadleaf back)

All around Fair to F-G condition. These cards started me on the path to low-grade collecting bliss. I have never minded to swim amongst my fellow shark fodder in that mediocre stuff called water. I still have each card, and if I had to get rid of all my cards I have collected except one, I would hang onto the Matty.
