feeling my way
I purchased my first pre-war card in December and only get a new one every two or three weeks - so I am still feeling my way around. I don't have much of an interest in the big sets because of the expense and because of the commons, though I do enjoy seeing everyone else's cards in the pick-up threads. I like the game cards like the National Game and S&S. I also like the Gold Medal Foods set because it looks nice and features my two favorite teams. If I end up going strong after a set it will probably be that one. My grandfather's favorite player was Schoolboy Rowe, so I look to grab his cards when I can find a good deal. I watched Kaline and Kell call Tigers games as a kid so I pick up those guys when I can. I also have been grabbing exhibit cards of the Musial-era Cardinals players. I also have a strange idea to collect the rookie cards of everyone on the 1984 Tigers' roster. And vintage baseball postcards have been grabbing my attention lately. I hope to eventually settle down and develop a more refined focus... but it probably won't happen.
