Default Evolution of collecting habits (aka "slow Thursday")

Posted By: Tom Boblitt

evolved......STILL evolving........

Started with current cards around 1982-1983 after buying my first cards around 1975-1976.......

Did a lot of shows from about 1984-1995 and during that time really didn't collect as much as just increased inventory. Really got hot and heavy into autographs (hence the ebay name 'autograf').

Started eBay in 1995 (when it was still free and Pierre Omidyar might email you to tell you that you'd posted an item in the wrong category.....now he's a BILLIONAIRE) and started collecting more vintage pre-WWII stuff then.

The collecting really hit a lot harder in mid to late 90's moving into 19th century stuff, cabinet photos, Louisville Slugger mdse like bats, pens, etc. That's where I'm at now. Also fall prey to a few new issues (BLASPHEMY!!!) like Topps/Bowman Heritage and even......Topps 206........

Okay, I feel like confession is over........
