This is a fun thread and I feel like it should continue.

I started in prewar 20 years ago with my first T206, a Jack Hannifan, Jersey City. I was totally hooked on the old stuff after that. I now collect most post war sets as I'm in OBC and we are set builders for the most part. But prewar, I collect Jersey City team cards. I haven't picked up a new one in while as they are somewhat tough to find. I do have the only graded T215 Red Cross Purtell, Jersey City. So I'm really excited about that one. But there are others I'll never get, like the Victory back Wiltse or the Pirate back.

Other than Jersey City, I'm working on E93, E98 and E90-1 sets. I pick them up when I can. In between those I pick up any card I think is a good deal or that I really like the look of. I have a very eclectic prewar collection now. I love caramel cards and always like picking up examples of those sets.

I also collect T206s with a certain back stamp. You can see an example of on these in my avatar. But any stamp is interesting to me. I've started The Great T206 Back Stamp Project (Link in my signature) that focuses on every type of back stamp out there.

I also collect several boxing sets and cards. I don't know how I got into all of those. Probably from Abe Attell.

I hope folks continue to post their stories in this thread as I really like reading them.
