How many Pre-WWI cards in your collection?
Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Pre-1920 cards in all sports and non-sports totals just over 100,000 cards. Just counting baseball cards, around 60,000. The rest are mostly boxing, hockey and non-sports.<br /><br />Been collecting for over 40 years <br /><br />(EDITED)<br /><br />Sorry Darren, pre-1914 would cut it down a bit since I can't add Cracker Jack and other issues between 1914 & 1920

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Guys,<br /><br />All right, I'll admit it I only have 4 pre-WWI cards in my collection of 200,000 cards. Yes that's right, I collect mostly the newer stuff. In my defense though, my participation in this forum is quickly changing my collecting ways. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>George, <br /><br />I'd love to hear more details about your collection. It sounds incredible. 60,000 pre-war baseball cards?!!! Amazing. In your 40+ years of collecting you must have added an average of over 100 pre-war baseball cards per month, every single month! In 40 years, that would still leave you shy of 50,000. <br /><br />Even if you had 10 complete T206 sets and every different Old Judge player and pose known, you'd still need over 50,000 more cards. You must have dupes upon dupes upon dupes. <br /><br />Which issue do you have the most dupes of? What individual card do you have the most examples of?<br /><br />-Ryan

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Scot, give me one of your mansions and I'll add you to my will. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Ryan, between 1967 and 1990 I traveled quite a bit and bought old cards in bulk and from auctions, estate sales, etc. Sometimes single purchases would consist of thousands of cards. It would take a great deal of time just to do a breakdown set by set. I have most of the cards from every reasonably obtainable set from Allen & Ginter up until the 1920s strip cards. By the way, I hate the strip cards and anytime I end up with any in multiple card lots, I get rid of them. <br /><br />

How many Pre-WWI cards in your collection?
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Me too....Since type collecting isn't really about quantity, I bet I only have about 200-300, not including generic baseball decks, from pre-war....My total collection isn't much larger than a T206 set....

How many Pre-WWI cards in your collection?
Posted By: <b>Bruce MacPherson</b><p>Just checked my not so up to date spreadsheet and came up with approximately 250 pre WWI cards. Add in my few CJs, m-101s, Goudeys etc. and my entire collection is no more than 350 cards. Until now I would have guessed the number was significantly higher. (p.s. This does not include my 1972 Topps set that I bought on a whim cause I think they look cool)
