Perspective thread...it's not about the money.

[Natswin2019]

Well if we are sharing, I'd bet I'm one of the younger members of this forum at 23 but have been collecting vintage cards since I was a kid. I got introduced as a kid at the Chantilly show and went several times a year with my dad. Now I mostly collect 50's Topps and Bowman sets. Most of the stuff I get is lower grade due to a combination of cost (recent college grad just starting out, y'all know how it is) and choice, because I think cards that show a bit of wear tell a story unique to their perfect counterparts. As the OP said, I think this board and the Harmon's card group on Facebook, allow for collectors from all different walks of life to be able to share their passion. Cards have never been about the money for me but I still think it's cool when I get a high dollar card that I can show off haha.
