33. I'm shocked at the relatively young crowd. Went on a 15-20 year hiatus before getting the bug again.

30

Not a hardcore T206 guy. Bought a Matty Dark Cap around the year 2000 and have acquired several dozen since. My age is 63 which is approximately equivalent to my Monster Number.

I'll go 40
My first T206 was at 36.
Picked up the Wags on the cheap earlier this year!

49 in sept.

started 4 years ago

60. First card in 1959, sold my collection to pay for a divorce; acquired my first t206 who knows when, which I still have. Thought it was 1992 but more likely in the '80s. Restarted collecting at 59.

38 and just getting started

38, started around 12ish.

42. Bought my first in around 1982. Collected from 1998-2004, got up to 367 and sold off to help buy our house. Started again in 2011 and I'm up to 219.

42

58 years old

Gum cards in the 60s. Collected nothing after that until 1989 then I started collecting baseball, hockey and lacrosse tobacco cards.

48 and I just started. When I was a kid I loved playing Superstar Baseball board game and loved all the old names. I'm also new to this sight as I was recommended to this sight by bigsaintsfaninbigd. I love the sight and I look forward to learning from you all. Thanks in advance for all the help.

40, started aged 35 but sold off almost everything to get a masters degree. Tentatively, collecting again.

44...got my first one - a Wayne Miller special - Cobb bat off shldr in about 1985. Stopped while starting a family about 3 or 4 years ago, been picking up the pace lately.

60 (sh*t)

Bought my first at 13-14 years old from Card Collector's Co. Sold all 225 when my daughter started on her Master's Degree. Have reacquired about 12. That is probably it for T206. Falling hard for Obaks.

29. Started 22-23. Had a couple hundred, but sold most of them two years ago when I went back to school. I kept about 50-60 of my HoFers and favorites and maybe picked up a half dozen since, but found other projects of late.

59. Bought my first, a Sovereign 350 Doc White portrait at about 20-21. Still have it.

45, collector for many years but just recently began t206.

37. Started buying T206 at nine years old. First card was a Clark Griffith portrait in very poor condition. I had it until last year. I worked in a card shop after school in Portsmouth Ohio during the mid-eighties called Pack Rats.

neat thread. 33 now, picked up first T206 card 21 years ago (Lundgren chicago). Then collected contemporary baseball cards, quit for a long while, and reacquired the bug little over 3 years ago.

p.s. wonder if someone can put this as a poll or something, so we can generate some stats on it.

63. Second time completing set, Have a complete t207 set also. Glad to see all you young guys.
