When I think about collecting cards as a kid, then the break most of us go through sometime around high school, college, early 20's... and then returning later, as many of us did... For me it was discovering The Old Judge newsletters. I got a subscription, and then got mailings about Mr. Lipset's auctions. That opened a new world of collecting way beyond what I envisioned.
And that lead to making acquaintances with folks who collected the older stuff, people knowledgeable about the old stuff, collectors like you, Ted.
Thanks to all of you guys who share your knowledge and who help a collector with something their after.
