if you started collecting pre war in your 20's (not 1920's)

I began collecting seriously in 1976 at age 25.

I focused immediately on ultra rare cards in top condition
because they were the most interesting and I knew they
were bound to increase in value.

I began with R-300 Geroge Millers and completed the
set minus Andrews within 4 years..then R 328, Delongs
and rare E cards.

In my third year I bought Four Base Hits and just So cards
for a record price of $750 each...

Always focus on the best items you can afford..the high end
of any market is the most interesting and always holds its
value/

I am writing a book now called "When It Was a Hobby- A Collector
Tells All..."


good luck

Well, since the thread was brought up- is this a rare glimpse of Bruce actually using the letter "I" instead of "we"?! I am shocked !!!
