Default if you started collecting pre war in your 20's (not 1920's)
Posted By: Mike W

I started getting interested in pre war around 1998 or so, at the ripe age of 20. I think it was around this time I started to explore baseball's history and learn about the players who made it. E-bay, still new, gave me "permission" to entertain the idea of pursuing these vintage cards at such a young age. I'm not sure I would have had the nerve to inquire about a Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb card otherwise.
I used to think I was the youngest vintage card collector out there... but in reality I was just a part of what looks like a young - vintage card collecting movement.

My first pre war card was a 1933 Goudey Ruth #53.
