Your questioning his math had me taking off my shoes to double check and I am relatively sober

Since 1987...

Since 1958 and I still have every card I collected that year and ever since with the exception of a few trades. I have never sold a card. I guess that makes me a hoarder. I am not sure if that is good or bad.

Since 1972. I got hooked on those Psycheldic looking cards!

Started in 1964 and have not taken any breaks. I'm either sick or a kid who won't grow up. Enjoy it very much even though I have stuff I have not looked at in twenty years. Have to go now and have a beer and look for more cards I don't need.

Since age five in early 1981, still have a handful of those first cards. A kid brought a garbage bag full of cards into school and let us pick out a couple each. I took all Pirates players and for some reason, a Paul Dade card. Wouldn't trade those cards for anything.

Started vintage at age 16, bought a T206 Bresnahan portrait up in Cooperstown

My first packs were 1978 topps. Still remember getting 5 packs for a $1 around 1980 at 7-11 with my grandparents. Also used to buy the twinkees and ding dongs for the 3 cards on the bottom of the box. Never stopped collecting, though I should have from 1985 til....anyways. Just started
T206's late last year(dont know what took so long).
