For me the hobby was most fun when I was collecting all the really great vintage sets and memorabilia for the first time. I'll never forget my first vintage card purchases, the excitement of buying my first T206, and later T205 sets; my first CdV's and cabinet cards, etc. When it was new it was thrilling.
Then after seeing the same things again and again and again, it wasn't so much fun anymore. And it became far too much of a business over the years- there are too many dealers, too many auctions, too much of everything. The industry is in overload right now. Hey, what can you do? Things change, that's life.
