Well I was once a young collector. I tried to assemble a 55AA set after hearing the story about Nile Kinnick. It sat gathering dust for 20+ years. I just bought 2 of the last 5 that I need to complete the set from... You. So happy to say that I'm closer to completion thanks to your store.

I have many hobbies that span from when I was young, but one constant has been baseball cards and autographs. I was a pretty hardcore collector in the late 80's-early 90's (like many others) collecting almost anything that was printed, including hockey, football and basketball. I collected with my buddies and we all loved it. Then when I was 17, my best collecting friend lost a 2 year battle with cancer. This hit me hard and I forgot about cards. I was completely separated from the hobby as other things occupied my mind. I went to college...then law school...then started working.

What got me back in was my mom actually. She enters contests as a hobby, and has won everything from cars to trips to cash. In 2002 I believe, she entered me into a Steiner Sports contest, where the winner got to meet former WS MVP John Wetteland. She won the contest, and I met him with my girlfriend at the time (now my wife). While I watched baseball religiously, this was my first re-exposure to the hobby in about 10 years. Since then, I have been back to stay!

Like others I got back into collecting a few years ago. My 2 twin boys and my daughter were finally old enough to be introduced to the hobby. At the age of 4, my daughter knew who Jeter, Trout, and Harper were. She loves opening packs with me.

I got into collecting with my dad about 10 years ago.Went to a card show in New Haven CT and fell in love with the hobby. Even though I was only about 12 I only liked the older cards. Loved the history. We had a great time collecting together.
