37. Started buying T206 at nine years old. First card was a Clark Griffith portrait in very poor condition. I had it until last year. I worked in a card shop after school in Portsmouth Ohio during the mid-eighties called Pack Rats.

neat thread. 33 now, picked up first T206 card 21 years ago (Lundgren chicago). Then collected contemporary baseball cards, quit for a long while, and reacquired the bug little over 3 years ago.

p.s. wonder if someone can put this as a poll or something, so we can generate some stats on it.

It was about 1982 or 83. A near mint Winfield was the hot card and the three 206's were vg. I remember thinking I got shorted a little. Oh, how times have changed...
