I'd recommend the following....
Get him a few beaters for the vintage sets you like (e.g. T205 / T206 etc). But also get him a whole bunch of older common cards like from the 70s or 80s - that are basically worthless but that he can flip, put in the spokes of his bicycle, etc. Let him tell you what he likes by exposing him to a whole bunch of different options and sets.
And most importantly enjoy the time it is brings you and your son together. My dad and I started this way about 25 years ago. He helped my put together early 1980s topps sets and ended up getting sucked into the monster himself. Then I followed as soon as I was in my teens. -Scott

Great private stories. I really envy those whose children are interested in cards.
I live in a house with only females. None of them have ever been interested in cards. If you start the T206 collection and he loses interest, it is something you can still connect to him, in your own memories. He may become interested again much later in life. Of course, I would hang onto anything I collected with my child. My father was never interested in cards at all(or sports) but I never forgot the T206's he bought for me in the early 1970's at a flea market. Good Luck

We have a 3 year old and a 2 year old. they love checking out my cards so i decided to do a smaller set for each. I settled on the e95 and e96 sets because they are small and relatively affordable - and just enough of a challenge to make it fun. I buy them mostly slabbed so they can mess with them.
