Just wondering how you all started getting into baseball cards. Did you collect with your father. or did you just love the baseball. For some reason i just want to open a full box every day to bad i dont have the money. haha

Also wondering how it is that you guys raise money for new boxes.

I started when I was 14. I had just moved from Boston to a small town in Connecticut so I didn't know anyone and had a lot of free time on my hands. My mother suggested a hobby so she bought me a baseball card starter kit from Toys-R-Us and the rest is history.

I got a few cards here and there when I was little but never really collected seriously. Then this year before spring training I saw a video on ESPN of a guy opening some 2011 Topps and that gave me the bug to start collecting. I love it so far and whenever I've got spare money I'll usually buy a blaster or save it for a box. Lately I've been buying singles on eBay though.

I had a Kellogg's 3-D card of Willie McCovey fall out of my Corn Flakes box into my cereal bowl back in the summer of 1970. I was fascinated with it and showed it off to my friends. My cousin showed me some Topps cards and I've been collecting them non-stop ever since.

My grandfather was huge baseball fan & as a kid in 1979 he bought me some card packs...he and I went to flea markets, grocery stores, and different places getting cards...still some of my best childhood memories and will forever be a bond to remember my grandpa by

I started in collecting in 87'. It was a neighbor that got everybody in the block collecting card. I haven't stopped since.

I started when I was about 10. Baseball has been my favorite sport in which my grandmother got me into when I was 5. But, my dad bought me my very first card, a pudge rookie from a card shop that he completely over paid for,lol, but I still have the card to this day and every time I look at it, I think about when I first started collecting.
