I probably post more often than many "lurkers," however I definitely do my fair share of reading threads and posts, more so than actually posting. I've posted a little bit of my collecting history before, I'm on the younger side, which meant I got into this hobby later than most of the people on the board.
I try to participate in the pre-war discussion as much as I can, but I own very few pre-war cards. Due to my current circumstances, I really need to pick and choose what cards I purchase. I do love talking though about the hobby, and I love hearing stories from the other members of the forum. Some of the collections I see on here, I would kill to have.
It is a little daunting at times, seeing people with multiple Cobbs, Ruths, Johnsons, Gehrigs, Wagners, Matthewsons, etc. You get the point. We're all in this hobby because it holds a special place for us, but there are some cards out there that I'll never be able to own, which is a little upsetting but its okay. I'll focus on the ones I can afford.
