Default if you started collecting pre war in your 20's (not 1920's)
Posted By: jay behrens

I was 17 when I bought my first pre-war card in 1980. They weren't my primary focus then, as putting together a 1955 Topps set was my first passion. Can't explain why I went after that other than it was fairly small (206 cards), had Killebrew's rookie and most importantly, no Mantle. After I moved from MN and got stationed in Philadelphia in 1982 and met Ron Oser and Bill Bossert did I really get more focused on pre-war cards. Today, I collect only pre-war. I'll buy the occasional pack of new cards just for nostalgia sake. Sadly, there is no more gum.
