Cumulative collecting experience....

[JeremyW]

First pack of cards 1977. 10 year break from 1989-1999. 23 years here. Pre-war 10-11 years.

Dad bought me a pack of 78-79 Topps Hockey at a gas station after I scored my first goal. Collected solid until 1992. Then started slowly again in 1996 and haven't stopped since but did take a two year break in the 2000's so I guess that is either 24 or 25 years.

Total card collecting years, 25 years. Total pre-war, 4 years.

About 35 of my 43 years and still nothing to show for it!

Adding together the years of buying packs as a kid, with my years collecting as an "adult", comes to 23.

Darren,

Don't forget to get a number from the Dorskind Group! Bruce alone is in his late 50's so I think their cumlative number must be pushing close to 200 years.

First rack pack: 1975
First Renata Galasso vending box: 1977
Completely hooked: About 2 minutes after the vending box arrived.

33 years here.

I started in 1987 when at the age of 7 and have been collecting ever since. So I guess that makes 23 years this year. Of course my collecting interest has changed too many times to count but that wasn't the question.
