Started collecting in 1978, 1st team set completed was the Orioles (Murray rookie), completed my 1st set in 1979 (needed Clint Hurdle and Mike Krukow). Took minor breaks in 1984 and 1986 (different priorities). Took another break in 1993 & 1994 (frustrated with hobby). Started getting frustrated again in 2009 with all the new shiny stuff that cost a bunch, "books" high, and sells for nothing. I have lots of high book cards that no one wants. Pre-war always interested me, so I started buying some to see what I wanted to do. Now working on the T205 set, I can get HOFers in about VG for the price of a new box of shiny stuff.
