Christmas Presents for the Beginner

[Archive]

I know this is like talking to a wall but Peter if he already started collecting vintage card,he mustve picked some era of cards he likes or a certain player,team etc. Wouldnt the answer be right there then as to what to buy him? How are we supposed to answer that question without knowing what his focus is and if he collects already then liking girls shouldnt interfere with it because im sure hes known about girls since before vintage cards were in his mind.


As far as buying him a book,you could get him some good reference material so he knows what hes looking for and while youre at it,get yourself one too.If youre new to vintage cards then who wouldve bought you a Christmas present that had to do with cards? Wouldnt that have been an odd gift before you started collecting? I know if someone bought me an antique lamp for Christmas this year id really wonder what they were thinking and i wouldnt then assume that next year id take up lamp collecting. Dont let people force a hobby on you Peter,although i doubt many people here would mind if you had a new hobby. The net54 antique lamp forum could really use some new blood with an empty mind just waiting to be filled,you could be their mid 19th century dusty longwy victorian kerosene lamp theyve been waiting to polish into a work of art!
