when did you acquire the bulk of your collection?

You bet. Still gets me to this day,but not for the monetary value of my G_uncle's shirt and the Luger my dad managed to get off a dead Nazi (!)...for the coolness effect of simply being able to view the items in question.
My bro has been forgiven by me for his transgressions (he was a troublemaker of the worst kind back then),and he's changed his life around.But we didnt talk for quite some time when my sis and I found out he basically pawned off most of our parent's posessions after they died without our knowledge.
Anyway,if I ever see a Rucker Brooklyn uni shirt on Ebay (I never have),I'll know where it probably came from! It's been out of my family's posession for almost a dozen years now.

ON a positive note,this forum,Old Cardboard magazine and the like give me the "itch" to oneday begin collecting again> This site is THE first site I "turn to" in the morning,before work,and the last I check at night.
Another great link is "108"...especially the in-link sites on that like "The Southpaw" (lots of great old baseball films and stories) and "Cardboard Gods"...
