So I am probably the definition of this thread. I have been a member since 2009 and have only 26 posts. I get on a couple times each week and read the interesting posts and seem to learn something new.
I started collecting cards in 1974 as a 9 year old kid. We moved the next year and I met a high school aged kid who had a ton of vintage. So he agreed to sell me a 1953 Paige for $30. I saved all my newspaper boy money and was going to meet up to do the deal. That day he changed his mind and wanted to keep the Paige. Instead he sold me a T206 Mathewson portrait and a 1962 Topps Musial. I was bummed but after awhile realized I got the better of the deal. I have been hooked on vintage every since.
