33 Goudey Ruth #149 was the start but the T206 Matty with Dark Hat gave me the disease.

Default Great question, Clayton
Mine started here...



... like Jason and others have alluded to - the onset of the disease doesn't take much.

My uncle gave me a handful of beater T206's when I was a kid (including Tinker, Evers and Chance). I eventually lost the cards, but still have the addiction.

T206 Eddie Collins, it's like an actual tiny oil painting in your hands. Love it!

T206 White Cap Mathewson with an Old Mill back.

Sold it on ebay in the lean times to a collector in the Seattle area (displayed stuff at the stadium). I would LOVE to have that back. I had it put in a PSA holder (VG) in 1993 or so. It was part of a trade for a Clemente RC that I had at a show in Charleston, WVA. It was a monster trade for me at 16 or so.

Cash reward for finding the owner!
Bob

I wouldn't say "sparked my addiction," but I picked up a couple of low grade (and have since lost the lower right corner on the former) T206s of Dots Miller and Bob Groom from a woman who appeared to be the original owner. This was at an antiques fair at South Hills Village in the late 1970s. The cost was $3.00 apiece.

Also, I picked up a 1933 Goudey #238 Hugh Critz. I have always loved the simplicity of the pose of the card. Later from the same dealer who had a store on West Liberty Avenue I picked up a 1934 Goudey of Lefty Grove for $20.00. I still have all of the cards.

The addiction didn't take off until 1989.
