Since the mid 80's...off and on the last few years, but building a T206 Cincy set now...really appreciate the vintage material now.
I will never forget going to my local hobby shop in Fairfield, OH and finding creative ways to pay for cards such as cutting lawns, washing cars, and doing chores to pay for my next pack of cards, not to mention all the card shows I went too (those were the good old days).
I will never forget riding my bike to the store and buying a 1989 Upper Deck pack and pulling a Griffey Jr. Rookie...too bad most of the cards I collected growing up aren't worth much today! That's why I am collecting vintage now...plus I am older and wiser and appreciate the history of the game and the story the vintage cards tell through cardboard.
Happy Collecting!
