Jason CarotaI collected as a kid from about 1987-1994'ish. At that time, I collected all modern. I stopped around '94. I have my wife to thank for getting me back into the hobby. A couple of years ago, she booked a series of card shows at the hotel she worked for at the time. When she told me, I decided to check the show out and see how the hobby was. I noticed quite a few changes since I left (game used/autogr/serial numbered cards.) Needless to say, the hobby bug bit me and I was back.
In early November '06, I made my first vintage purchase, a T206 Johnny Bates. Since then, I have started to piece together as much of the T206 set as possible, as-well-as picking up pre-war/vintage Red Sox cards. I still collect modern, as well (Red Sox team collection and a Manny Ramirez player collection.)
