I started with new cards, but developed a taste for older cards early on. Nothing major, as I was still just a pre-teen, but was picking up 50s stuff in the early 80s. When I discovered the internet, I did go after a lot of older and oddball stuff, but as the prices increased, my collecting of the older stuff slowed down as I was not able to continue affording it. I am glad I got what I did when I did, but woish I would have started earlier in earnest and gone after more than just personal favorites. For example, I liked Jim Palmer more than Seaver or Ryan.
I dabble in anything now if it catcvhes my eye, but unfortunately the vintage pick ups are fewer and further between these days. I did just get a T-205 Brooklyn card the other day though.
