John SSean,
I began collecting vintage around the age of ten (1980). I remember not being taken too seriously when I asked some of the big boys questions about their cards at shows. It frustrated me because I really wanted to learn. I was not afforded the opportunities that you have available to educate yourself via the internet and other publications that exist today. So if you are truly sincere about your interest in vintage materials, spend time reading our posts and go to oldcardboard.com which has a tremendous amount of information regarding the various sets, when they were released, and least importantly the value of the cards. Also, go to the library and check out books on Ty Cobb, John McGraw, Hal Chase, and old baseball in general to gain knowledge about the history of the game and the players. And please take the time to craft your posts in a concise and grammatically correct manner. No one will ever take you seriously on this board or anywhere else in the adult world using that lazy style of prose that has become all too common in the era of text-messaging.
