Thanks Dan. I grew up in the Bronx--pretty close to Yankee Stadium--and would hang out at the players' entrance (mid-60s) for autographs. Around 1965 I became interested in the 1920s Yankees, and obtained my first Ruth and Gehrig autographs in 1966. Collecting stopped when I went away to college in 1968, then graduate school, jobs (I'm a physics professor), marriage, children, etc.
Took it up again--seriously--in 1990, and with eBay's assistance I buy and sell a bit to support the habit.

How about you?
