I love collecting post-war rookies. I'm on a bit of a tight budget - so it takes me a while to pick up some from the 1960's and earlier (in decent grade.) I have all the key rookies from 1970-1999 and I enjoy those cards just as I enjoy the vintage rookies. While I enjoy looking at my Aaron, Banks, Clemente, Koufax, Jackie Robinson rookies - I also like looking at my stacks of 1982 Ripkens, 1984 Donruss Mattingly's, 1984 Fleer Update rookies, 1992 Bowman Rivera's and so forth.
Pre-war: I have a nice little collection, but I'm not too concerned with pre-war rookies as I just like to collect whatever I can.
My collection is a bit all over the place - but I enjoy it!
