34

32 feel 23:D

48, married, two kids, son 24 and daughter 20. They have no interest although both follow baseball in person and tv. When I tell my daughter how much I pay for a T206 card she is amazed and says " wow, it's just a baseball card"! Lol.

Age unknown?
 

As of right now, this is the oldest I've ever been! SAM MAJORS ;) ;) ;)

that is so cool!

my girls like the color of the caramel cards

57. Two grown sons 24 and 28. Love them more than anything but occasionally think that I spent enough on their educations to buy a decent Wagner.

16. I will be 17 in two months.

Wazoo, congratulations on being first to crack the under 20 list. Reminds me that while I was away at college, my younger brother about your age, sold my baseball cards (mostly 1962 - 70) to raise money to paint his car. Glad you are here.

23. Married with a 5-month old son. He seems to enjoy the taste of baseball cards. I like to think that means he'll get into collecting.

Thanks for the laugh

I'll be 22 this month.

64 and feel just like it. I remember when 'When I'm Sixty-Four' was released (Sgt. Pepper -- 1967), 64 seemed an awful long ways away.

sean B,

curious as to why you have a link to probstein cards even though you have your own site to sell cards?

seems a bit strange why you would consign to probstein...

Moved into the last group, seems pretty grim from here.

Why is it strange, obviously he has a large following and gets a lot of traffic?

its strange because why would you pay a consignment fee to someone else when you have your own avenue to sell your own cards?

47 1/2

So the only people who consign are those without their own avenue? Very far from the truth.

How old are we
 

65 2 daughters 42-39---4 grandsons 16-13-7-3-----1st time I saw baseball cards was in 4th grade---a kid had 1957's he kept them in rubber bands by the team---next year I started collecting 1958's (ugly set but I love it)----5 cents a pack I was a high roller and bought 10 packs at a time---loved when the new series came out with different cards----the last card I needed was Wes Covington (I had to trade a kid 2 for 1---he took Hank Aaron and somebody else for Wes-----I fell in love with baseball cards but stopped in 1964 peer presure (kids at 16 were not supposed to collect cards)---I found the hobby again in 1977---and have been back ever since that day at the flea market.

im smart enough not to debate something with you...you are always right...

I'm 46 with 2 daughters (23&12), 1 son (8), 1 grand daughter (9 months).
My little guy is starting to send some autograph requests.We watched 42 together,and he started reading a Jackie Robinson book he got from school.One out of 3 isn't bad.

27-and counting just like NY Yankees Championships

37 with 2 kids...8 and 5

36, married, no kids yet. Been collecting vintage since about 10-11 and pre-war since 15-16.

65

Age is nothing but a number.......that goes up with the doctor bills.

38

I'm 43 and married (12 years) with three kids (boy-9, girl-7, girl-5).

The first year I actually bought cards with my own allowance money was 1977 Topps, as a 7-year-old. Loved those cards and still do. And I still have my originals from my childhood, although I've since built a couple high-grade sets of those '77s.

Been 36 for about 3 weeks now.

That must be why I always seem to agree with him.;)

73 & 1/3.

Saw my 1st MLB game @ Ebbets Field in 1953 @ the age of 13 & being the packrat I am still have the ticket stub.

age
 

just turned 57 yesterday.

Just came back from the Boston show, I still really enjoy collecting cards.
Every time a buy a graded card, by the time I get home, I wish it was like it just came out of the pack, un-graded.

enjoy the hobby.

Cute kid Rob, congratulations!! There goes your sleep.......


On another note, it sure seems like an even split on ages.

38 with two sweet daughters, 7 and 4. Can't get enough of them.

Rob, congrats on your best acquisition!

Best,

Andy

46, married with two kids (12YO boy and 3YO girl)..the boy shows no interest in baseball or my collection...which is too bad because when he quit playing baseball a few years back he was by far the best hitter on his team...he took up guitar instead. My daughter is too young to really understand my collection, but she did watch a lot of the World Series with me "Daddy's B's" won!!!

27, married - no kiddos.

62 - married with 4 kids and 4 grandchildren

48 - married with 3 children (16, 11 yr old twins).

66 but still on the right side of the grass.

34 - married, with an 11-month-old son (whose card collection already trumps his father's)

Cool thread
 

41

4 children...too young to know if they will be into cards.

56

63 and counting.....backwards soon I expect. Wife and daughter, neither one have any interest in my "foibles." Expect to start letting stuff go as a result....they would just toss it all I think.

68 years young
 

68 years old, have been married to my wonderful wife for 48 years. 4 grown kids and 4 grand kids. Hobby keeps me active. Love the hunt and occasionaly finding something to add to my meager collection.

63, three grown kids, married 37 years, I remember buying 100 packs of 1958 Topps at a time at the supermarket, the lady asked me if my Mother knew what I was doing. That's when I learned that you needed to have your own means (cash) to be independent. I have been ever since. Baseball cards have been a great way to learn basic math and I highly recommend them to the younger generation. Just collect the older stuff :)

50 years old with 2 boys, 19 and 14, Saw my 1st Baseball game in 1970, Expos vs Braves, at Jarry Park
