Even later to the game:
1. How long have you been collecting pre-war cards?
1989. Found a red background T206 Cobb at an antique store, and it became the first pre-war card I over-paid for.
2. What is the approximate largest number of pre-war cards you've ever owned at any one time?
408
3. Approximately how many pre-war cards do you currently still own?
408
4. What is/are the most significant card(s) you currently own?
Several significant HoFers, and a couple tough-Hindu backs
5. What complete sets or near complete sets (say 75% or more) do you currently own?
408 T206s, all with Howe McCormick's stamp on the back (barely qualifies ... the collection sits at 78% of a complete set (522 cards as the McCormick-Howe Mercantile didn't sell Polar Bear, so a complete set is short two guys.))
