Default What makes a great collector?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Young Jay there has the makings of a great collector. Stay the course, keep picking up a card or two, when you start chasing girls don't completely abandon your cards, don't let Mom pitch them when you go to college.... If you're about 13 years of age, if you have 20 T206s now, if you pick up another 25 each year here on out, it will take you another 20 years to make it to 520 in T206, a real nice place to be. You'd be 33. And you'll be 33 then if you don't collect another card ever. I suspect most everyone here would have liked to have had 520 T206s at age 33. I'm sitting here thinking I wish I'd drank half as much beer, and spent half of the savings on cards...

Thanks for posting, Jay.
