Patrick McMenemy1. How long have you been collecting pre-war cards?
I started building my current pre-war collection about 15 years ago.
2. What is the largest amount of pre-war cards you've had at one time?
The largest amount of pre-war items that I have owned is between 175-200 items. My collection is very diversified. I have cards, photos, pins, silks, postcards, and various types of memorabilia.
3. How many cards do you currently still own? (approximate)
Same as above.
4. What is the most significant individual card or item you've owned? Do you still own it?
It's a toss-up bewteen: George Gibson D322, E125, E90-2, and W600 or Ira Thomas T5 cabinet. I still own them. I also have owned and then sold a Bresnahan Novelty Cutlery postcard, Ira Thomas E104 and Thomas and Kling W600s.
5. What complete sets or near complete sets have you owned? (say 75% or better)
I'm not a set collector.
