Nice job on all of those sets.
I am not sure I answered questions in my response from a while back.
1. 29 yrs
2. probably around 1000 in my first collection, including ancillary items
3. Including rppc's, I probably have around 600? in my current collection.
4. I have the usual names on a few significant cards....maybe the e90-1 Young, in a 7 holder, is the most notable.
5. As a type collector I don't do sets so don't think I have any right now. My 1936 Home Run Candy collection of 16 is probably the closest I have. I don't think anyone knows the count in the entire set, unless I missed it.

1. How long have you been collecting pre-war cards?
Exclusively, around 2015
2. What is the approximate largest number of pre-war cards/items you've
ever owned at any one time?
40,000-50,000 cards, I'd guess, though more than half are UK issues that are worth less, including a good bit of non-sports stuff.
3. Approximately how many pre-war cards/items do you currently still own?
Same answer as No. 2
4. What is/are the most significant card(s)/item(s) you currently own?
I don't have crazy expensive individual cards and mostly build sets. Largest individual cards are the usual suspects - Cobb, Wagner, Anson, Matty, WaJo, Young, etc.
5. What complete sets or near complete sets (say 75% or more) do you currently own.
The main ones are below in my signature, but also larger European issues like Ogden Tabs (1,560 cards, about 85% complete), Stollwerck Albums (3,690 cards, somewhere beyond halfway), Felix Potin (1,775 cards/100% complete), and some other nonsense. Some complete baseball game sets, lots of smaller complete uncategorized sets.
