Gilbert MainesI am 61. Age, maybe IQ, but not waist size.
Ive been interested in pre-war players for as long as Ive been interested in baseball. I got heavily involved in researching cards and baseball history when I first found out that old cards could be purchased (around the late '70s), but didn't actually buy my first cards (OJs) until the early 80s. From that time until a few years ago I only got new cards when I had extra money, and with putting kids through school, that was almost never. Now I have a monthly card budget from which I buy approximately the same value of cards each year. I try to primarilly obtain cards from sets which are not popular at the time that I buy them. But it seems that some sets are always popular, and others are never popular.
