This Mack was the 1st of my E98s. I got this back in 1999 from Slater's Americana in a group of rough E98s. Over the years, I have collected and sold off many E98s, but out of my future Master Set, this is the only original one that I have always saved. I call it the "Anchor Man" of my set. It was the 1st of my now 108 different E98s. Only 12 more to go. If you have one of the 12 that I still need (check out the BST for my want list) please contact me! This Mater Set is my collecting dream!

Not really one big deal card for me, but a few small ones.
First pack, 1969. I got Reggie, and remember dad saying "hey he's pretty good!" That stuck with me, but oddly I bought none in 70, one pack in 71, and none in 72? Weird. Then 1974 and the Hank Aaron specials. I knew there were older cards, since I had some as old as 1969, but those really made it interesting. Traded for a 1968! Then I moved to a town with a card store. With T206s, T205s, Goudeys, Old Judges! And it's been downhill since ![]() Steve B |

... two of them, raw, for next to nothing in 1991 (who would bother collecting black and white cards from such a tiny set??)... when I sent them in for grading, and they came back 8s, I thought I could assemble a really nice set of them, relatively cheaply (no major HOFers in the set), which I did.... that very first 36G purchase lead me immediately to other pre-war cards and sets, starting with Sports Kings, and its history from there...

The card(s) that started it all was a buy it now of a 1948 Bowman Enos Slaughter signed rookie for $50, and a 1950 Bowman Bob Lemon signed card for $20.

![]() Gift from my dad as we were scouring an antique shop in Snohomish, WA (home of Earl Averill) when I was 12 years old. It wasn't my first ever pre-war card (that distinction belongs to a T206 Titus and a 1933 Goudey Pepper Martin--long ago traded the Titus but kept the Martin).
