37 yrs. old, started slaying the monster in 2003.

Took a page from Jack Benny's book and decided to remain perpetually 39 a few years ago. Started collecting T206's when I was 7. Took a long hiatus starting my freshman year in high school that lasted into my early 30's.

77 this month. Started collecting in 1976. First card was a Vic Willis, throwing. He was a Great Uncle on my mother's side.

I'm 41, and am fairly new (a bit more than one year) to collecting T206 cards.

The OP asked for a guess as to what the average age of T206 collectors would be. My initial thought was 55 years old. Apparently, the crowd is a bit younger. :)

Best Regards,

Eric

Interesting, similar to the results on the N172 Old Judge thread in terms of vote count and distribution. If this thread had an actual poll I suspect there would have been many more T206 votes cast.

Some reverse aging going on here.:D

I love it.:)

27 and first starting off

My daughter Melody was 5 when the monster bit her. She is 8 now and still wants more cards for her 206 set we are building. A lot of help from the board has made this a very very dear and memorable set for the both of us.

She knows Nationals is coming and is asking what I am getting for her. Well probably a stack of cards as normal that she will throw on the floor and spend hrs looking at and sorting before putting them away in her binder.

37, started early 20s right out of college...

33 years, been collecting T206 for about a year

i am now 27 now, and have been doing this with my dad since i was about 24 ... and i intend upon doing this until the day i die, because with all of the variations and backs in t206, it seems like there is always something new and interesting to accomplish!

49 Bought my first T206 in 1991 from a shop in Cooperstown, NY. It was a very nice Zimmerman. Being a lifelong Cubs fan, I decided to put together a clean T206 Cubs set (1908 was their last championship at the time... and still is). Finished the Cubs set a while back. Now occasionally working on a back collection.

54 started when I was 53

63 now, got my first T206 in 1970, my last in about 1982, which completed my set except for the Big 3. So, I put the set together between age 21-32. Now the Big 3 I need have grown to the Big 4 (Doyle added), but I can do without them unless I get to the point where there is nothing else to do.:)
