I'm almost 65. I collected when I was a kid, in the early 60's. When I was a teenager, my mom threw everything out. But it's okay, I got everything back plus lots more.
I collect cards of old Jewish players, and old Hall-of-Famers. I have sets from the 30's, 40's, and 50's.
But the cards I love best are the tobacco cards. I have a hundred-twenty t206's, and a hundred-fifty t205's. And my favorites are the Obaks. I have ninety of them, and I'm always looking for the guys I don't have.
My son isn't too interested. My daughter is, but up to a point. I'm thinking grandchildren are the key.
Happy collecting, however old you are!
