Got my first baseball cards from the backs of Jell-o and Post Cereal boxes back in 1962 at age 7. Got my first "vintage" cards in 1964 when I convinced my uncle to throw in all my cousin's cards (dating back to 1955) when I bought his old HO trains. Still have them all and have been collecting baseball and other stuff ever since...that's 48 years!

58 years though there have been temporary breaks for the Navy (1961-1964); College (1965-1968); Law School (1970-1974). So I guess that's a net of 48 years.

Began buying packs in 1975.
Went to my first card show in 1979. Took about a ten year break from '82-'93 or so. (Foggy memory... I will spare you all the details.) Non-stop since then. So I guess it is about 25 years, not counting the 10 year hiatus. JimB

Where Does the Time Go?
First pack in 1966, collected steadily through 1980. Took a break until starting back up in 1984 and been at it ever since. So in total, 40 of my 50 years. First pre-war card was bought in 1989.

8 years as a kid collecting the junk from the 80's and 90's.
Just started collecting vintage cards 3 years ago. I'm 32 now, so I've got a lot of years to continue this!

Like most of you I bought packs and clipped Post boxes as a kid (1960-65) with 1962 as my biggest buying year. After a few years off I was fortunate to find John England's card shop in Ft. Smith, Arkansas in 1975. that day I bought 2 T206s and an Old Judge- Bushong for $4.00. I also purchased a copy of The Trader Speaks and the SCD. From there I purchased T206s from George Lyons and T205s from Wirt Gammons. In a fit of stupidity I sold my T205 set and 481 T206s in 1990. I just started back two years ago after getting energized while peaking at this forum. At age 55 I still find it fun.
