wow - I feel deprived, as I can't actually remember having a hobby mentor. I got into this hobby as a result of scouring the internet for 1967 Philly Gum cards of the Cowboys. That led me to old Bowman football cards on ebay, which in turn led to Bowman baseball, which eventually led me to pre-wwi baseball lithographs and other pre-wwi items. Guys like John Drecker, Jamie L, Trevor, Leon, Barry, Steve (Jacklitsch), David (Cycleback) and too many others to name, provided the bits of information to further my interest. I just wish I had met someone back in the 1980's who could have given me an initial shove into vintage. I can't imagine the horror stories I could be able to tell now, of things I shouldn't have parted with, if that had occurred.
