Default Collector age!

At 71 I am the old fart I guess! It is great seeing so many of you "youngsters" (50 and under) into collecting. I have one young man...now about 15...who started buying T206s at about age 8 or 9. He came into a show in Raleigh with his Dad and after we talked 20 or 30 minutes about collecting he purchased, from me, two T206s. He is now 14 and six foot three and still come to almost every one of my shows in that area. Although I would not consider him an expert he is very knowledgeable and loves Pre-WWII cards.

40.

Bought my first T206 in 1997 at the not-quite-ripe age of 24.

49.....first T206 when about 10 but not another one till 1990's......


internet is key. Didn't exist when I was young and I had no good way(in Miami, Florida) of getting to prewar cards. Card shop far away and stuff too expensive for me...so many roadblocks.....internet has opened a way I didn't have....

Barry, good to hear.

Wazoo, envy you starting at that age. You have foresight I did not have.

My daughter Melody was 5 when the monster bit her. She is 8 now and still wants more cards for her 206 set we are building. A lot of help from the board has made this a very very dear and memorable set for the both of us.

She knows Nationals is coming and is asking what I am getting for her. Well probably a stack of cards as normal that she will throw on the floor and spend hrs looking at and sorting before putting them away in her binder.
