Is anyone else alone in collecting cards?

[marktheshark83]

in the past few weeks i was showing my dad some of the t206 cards that i have and he thought they were pretty cool. So now he has got a few now, so its nice to have something in common with my dad again.

even better my dad and i both invested 50/50 on a red back cobb i just sent in to sgc that gets to stay in my collection lol

I have just one friend who collects--some vintage baseball, but he focuses primarily on older pro and college football.

Look at the benefits of the fact that collectors "seem" to be spread so thinly:

If everyone and their neighbor collected basically the same stuff as we do, values would rise through the roof, and few of us would be able to afford the objects of our personal desire!

Good thread,

First off. I must say that I've been blessed with more true friends then any one man should ever be entitled to. And for that, I'm eternally grateful.

That said, most of my friends collect, and for the few that don't collect, they still are Baseball fans and love looking over my collection. It's also my friends, that I've made many of my biggest trades with as well.

And since we're all Boomers, my Beatles collection, is just as popular or maybe even a bit more so than my Baseball photos! I've recently discovered how much fun it can be to have an old High School friend over. I started playing one of my Beatles playlist from my itunes, while I brought out ALL of my Fab Four collection, and we spent a couple of terrific hours bringing our childhood back to life!

Downside was, we ran out of time before we had a chance to visit Babe, Lou, Joe, and Mick. Well, next time, I'm sure.
