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

i'm 36 and have been a bb card collector most of my life. i've always been interested in bb history as well. i collected 50's-present as a kid with a focus on hof'ers and yankees. my first 2 vintage cards are pictured below. the matty i paid $2 for at one of my first big shows and i paid $5 for the criger from a local card shop. i sold my collection after i wrecked my first car to buy another but kept some. i got interested in cards again in college and went mad buying early 90's crap...and this rekindled my interest in cards and i vowed to never buy a card i once owned so i focused on vintage. first t-206's esp the backs and some caramels. i decided i wanted to be a type collector years ago but it's become the impossible dream. i wish i had leon's collection!
