i'll be 33 in 3 weeks! Started when i was 5 as my dad got me some classic wentworths. It was the set that i still have but have completly de-valued them by handling them only as a 5 year old would. Then i got some '86 topps and lost a bunch of them playing some flip card game in 1st grade..'87 was when i got the box set and a slew of loose packs. Playing stick ball, we would shuffle the cards and flip to see "who was up". So if I pulled a pete rose card, I would crouch low like he did and swing away. Or, someone like Jack Clarke with a tall stance and so on. My favorite was George Bell because he had like 40+ home runs that season and I swang for the fences hahaha (hit one of the co-ops and its an auto HR). Those, my fellow collectors, were good times.

Now, I still do it for fun as I only build one set a year (topps, heritage, chrome, whatever is interesting) and get a pack or two a week from my LCS. I'll never buy or trade high end, and I could care less if Bro A buys 5 cases of this product and so on and so forth. Thats not my style. Still akid at heart and will remain that way as this is a relaxing hobby then, and now and always.

26 .... I believe started collecting around 96 and was into more football at the time. As i got older and backed more away from football and love for baseball came about. Now solely collect Yankees and have some non Yankee items in my PC which mainly consist of GU Items or IP autos.

I am 42. I have been collecting off and on since I was 8 years old. My dad started me into collecting when he would buy cases of 80's Fleer, Donruss and Topps and help me make sets. I have sets from 80-84 stopped around 86 and picked up a 1993 Sp box and made the set with Jeter. Today I collect alot of prospects and have pulled about 6 superfractors. I will post soon my best cards as I want to add to that thread. Recently started trading and hope to possible get a 2012 or 2011 bowman draft or chrome set together.
