Sometimes coming to sites like this can be intimidating for newer or lower budget collectors, as people are showing off or talking about these great items they own or bought. This site is more focused on the vintage cards, so I assume most members are older and have collected since the early 70s or before or are those with a decent amount of disposable income. Hopefully everyone gets something from the site, such as knowledge, connections or something else useful.
Everyone just needs to buy/trade for what they like and can afford and not worry about how you stack up to everyone else. That is what the PSA site is apparently for!  |
+1 Great post.
I spent several hours with one of our younger members yesterday. He is 21-22 and I am 53. The hobby should be fun. A lot of the fun is the chase and hanging out with friends. Yes, some of us older guys have a bit more discretionary income and some (not me) started collecting in the 60s-70s. Just make of it what you want and be happy. Collecting can still be fun.
