John SI continue my maniacal pursuits of whatever currently interests me...I rarely sell (and have accumulated many things since 1978) so I have attempted to convince my wife that we need an addition onto the home complete with a hobby room. She has suggested that I get a new wife.
A more direct answer to the question would be that my pre-war collecting began in the mid-80's, peeked around 2000, and has been rather consistent since then. I have been fortunate enough to have purchased a few large collections in the last year which have been used to finance my addiction.
