I knew very early on that I was a collector. My parents were very big into collecting (Dad: Stamps/antique toys, Mom: Dolls) and they went to estate auctions and sales nearly every weekend when I was growing up. I started collecting cards in the late 70s as a kid with both sports and non-sports cards by buying packs and putting sets together. I gravitated towards vintage when my dad gave me some N172's that he found in a scrapbook. He told me if I was smart I would stop buying up boxes of new cards and go after the vintage cards....well I stopped buying the new stuff, but I also didn't really go after much vintage either as I pretty much stopped collecting when I went to college...it wasn't until I got out of college that I started collecting again attempting the T206 set....I got about 90 cards into that before I sold them off to concentrate on other cards and memorabila.
