pete ullmanfunny you should ask...I was just pondering posting that exact question.
I began collecting cards as a young boy...6-7 years old I believe. Mostly current cards...70's. My dad would ask his friends if they had any unwanted bb cards and this is how I amassed most significant cards from the late 50's to current. I aquired a t206 white cap mathewson and a 33 goudey eddie collins at a show for like $5 combined.
After wrecking my 76 ford granada I needed a car and I sold most of my cards to fund a 77 camaro. At the age of 20 or so I got interested again and vowed to only collect cards I had never owned and began collecting only vintage. that was in 1990 or so.
