Default if you started collecting pre war in your 20's (not 1920's)

I first started collecting in 1988 and purchased my first Donruss cards from ToyRus. I'm now 27 and its been four years since I purchased my first vintage card.

I still vividly recall when I first started collecting, looking at b/w photos of T206 Wagner and Cobb Portraits hoping one day to afford one.

Fast forward to 2002 and I'm in Kosovo spending some off time surfuring the web. Times had changed, I was no longer a 4ft tall kid rather I was now a single army officer, collecting a tax free paycheck and not spending any of it. I found a Red Cobb EPDG on Ebay for $300 that later graded as a SGC 40. Been collecting T206 Cobbs ever since.
