I started collecting cards as a boy, discovered vintage cards in 1975, and never looked back (except for brief hiatuses to collect much less useful stuff: cars and women).

As to th eOP - I too had a "collecting gene". Started with comic books - transitioned to baseball cards - something about "old things" - Ironically stayed postwar till a few years ago when my son mentioned he liked pre war! Last edited by hcv123; 05-08-2020 at 07:53 AM.

I liked history and modern cards were too expensive. I started collecting pre-war when I was 9 or 10 years old. I bought a Miller Huggins hands at mouth T206 and a Matty White Cap for about $100 in a sea of tables that had A-rod cards priced through the roof.

Collected as a kid. Went to shows in the early 70’s. Lost touch until I saw some football cards 1966 Topps in 1987 at an antique shop. Remembered those little cigarette cards from the shows in the ‘70’s at $1 a piece. (T206). Started picking them up a few here and there. After around 250 culled the collection to only portraits and back stamps FF Baker. Finished all my football sets from 1960-70.
Started collecting RPPC of long gone and forgotten town teams. Now I just come to stir up sh$t.

My slightly older brothers were allowed to take me along as they walked (quite a distance) to 'the stores' to get whatever my mom needed. Inside the stationery, they taught me the beauty of trading my meager allowance for packs of baseball cards...and that feeling has never gone away.
