Same here.. I think you probably got a little jump on me though.. You probably started collecting before the overproduced hype? 1981 or 1982? I got in around 1986 and luckily was able to understand the whole supply and demand thing early on... I figured out that something wasn't right when I could buy a box of cards for $40, and then get lucky and pull the "it" card, which I could only sell for $15..So, I also went older! Vintage just has a great history to it.. I'd much rather have a nice vintage card any day (even at 12) than some hot new rookie!
