WayneAhhh yes...memories. I too am only 29 years old, but got into it about 4 years ago by stumbling into a golf/sporting goods/ball card type consignment shop a gentleman in my town opened about that time. In his glass case of common 70's and 80's cards (amoungst a few semi vintage stuff) were the cards that would start this t-206 passion thats been with me for the last 4 years:
wheat
gandil
lundgren/kansas city
&
Vic Willis/throwing
He had all these listed for $20.00 a piece, imo he couldnt of known the value! (yes they are authentic, and in VG/EX condition) But the beauty of those cards, linked with the exileration of that great deal, brought me to the mercy of the monster. I'm lovin' every minute of it!!!
I may be collecting at a slow pace (only 50 up to now, avg. PSA, GAI, 4 & 5's), but I'm having a blast!
