I am loving this hobby!
Relative newbie here, only collecting a year and a half but I am loving collecting vintage cards even though I don't have multi-thousands to spend on them I have been a Superman Comics collector since 1978 but in this short span my love for old cardboard has almost equaled my passion for old pulp paper.
No big collection here and nothing high dollar but so far I have picked up 22 T206 commons (my fav set so I am trying to get as many as I can reasonably) 3 T202 End Panels 7 1933 Goudey's 2 1940 Play Ball (ugly card to me but they were cheap) 20 T205 reprints (HOF cards I can't afford) 2 sets of Old Judge Reprints (Would LOVE to collect this set but as a workin man and single parent they are outta my range so Im sticking to t206) Sporting News Shoeless Joe reprint (another I can't afford in original) I know reprints don't have the love or honor of original cards but with some like Old Judge its the only way I can enjoy the set. GREAT hobby and I can't tell you folks how useful this forum has been in helping me learn about cards. Thanks everyone!
