Started in 2nd grade and 1957 seems like yesterday...
 

This post expresses my sentiments pretty well. In a few ways I feel quite young - particularly when I'm around my grand children but the calendar says second grade and my first baseball cards (1957 Topps) were a looooooooong time ago. My grand parents told me time passes quickly but I knew better. (I was wrong.)

This hobby affords the opportunity to learn something daily and I look forward to future years as a baseball hobbyist. (I'm 60 AND A HALF as we kids used to say.)

Interesting question, Leon. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

I'm 39, going on 15.....:D

Come on, you lurkers don't have to post, but a vote would make the analysis more valid.

Just turned 33 and just getting started in pre WWII stuff. Just purchased my first a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to my second soon. I'm sincerely hoping this keeps my interest, I've burned myself out on newer stuff. Too much to collect, and I wanted it all. I can't afford a lot of the pre WWII stuff, but hoping to work on Cubs team sets from that era. Other than some Anson's and a couple others, most appear to be affordable for me in lower grades. We'll see where it goes, maybe in 20 years I'll be buying up the higher dollar stuff and working on sets. Hopefully anyway.

Nice Dylan quote :D
I am 60 as of last month. My wife reminds me that 60 is the new 40 but there are times I feel 80 :p

maybe only 300 are young at heart, Steve---and the other 7700 are just plain
young.
