Default Length of original card collecting run

Like I do on a lot of Saturday mornings I was looking through my cards before anyone else woke up and I started to think about buying packs as a kid. I first got into cards as an 8 year old in 1987. My mom bought me a pack of Topps and I was off and running. From 1987 - 1991 I spent any money I had on packs of cards or inexpensive singles at mall card shows. In 1992 I bought a couple packs here and there. Took 1993 off completely, bought a box of 1994 Topps and then didn’t buy another pack of cards until 2007. So I had a solid 5 year run from 87-91. How long was your initial pack buying run?
