To this great question. I was gifted a few handfuls of mainly 60's cards as a little kid. They sat untouched till the mid 80's when I got into collecting. From those cards I now have a room full of a few 100k cards plus several bats and a lot of miscellaneous odd ball items. I have never spent a penny out of pocket for anything I now have through trading and selling of items I already had.
As to modern, post war and pre war collecting. I have collected all of it at one time or another as my focus is always changing. I am currently trading/selling off stuff to add to my Eddie Mathews collection and Wade Boggs bat collection.
