I'm 41, and besides my volumuous boxes of wax junk-era crap from my childhood that I can't bear to get rid of, the bulk of my collection that I really care about lives on one shelf in my closet. These are stacks of toploaders and a dozen or so more expensive graded vintage cards that I'm really into. I have 2 daughters (currently 12 and 8...) and besides having succesfully made them both into Chicago Cubs fans, I doubt they will ever seriously be interested in baseball cards. These posts make a good case to stick with a smaller collection of the few things that you are really into, and while I don't think of myself as "old" yet...things are certainly not going in the other direction.  |
John, we could be brothers in every respect....except the Cub part.
