I think they are on Twitter. There is a big hobby presence there. I also agree that it is hard to buy vintage. If you don't know baseball history, and only know Ruth, Dimaggio, Mantle.... those cards might appear to be out of reach. Personally, I wanted to collect players who were playing. Griffey, Larkin, Jeter. It's exciting to follow a player in their career. Once they retired I didn't want to collect post-career cards. So then I moved to vintage because I had more money to spend.
