Default Hi Luke!

Well, I am pretty much like you, 29 years old and I love the game of baseball and history. I started collecting the T206 set by teams, specifically the New York Giants, after I read a great book called the Old Ball Game by Frank Deford. I read this book about baseball and I realized that I could collect the actual baseball cards from this time in history. So, I bought a Mathewson, then McGraw, and then I went on to complete this subset.

Well, a couple of hundred cards later I am in love with this set. There are so many ways that you can collect by teams, alphabetical, numerical, advertising backs, etc.

What I would suggest is finding a team that you want to start off with and maybe a piece of literature that goes with the team!

The monster can be a little overwhelming, but if you collect slowly and with determination, you will get there.

Good Luck and Happy Collecting
Jeff
