Josh K.I hope my post conveyed that I was only kidding - Im not really too worried about what others think of collecting bb cards - I enjoy it, so Im good. The funny thing is, while my wife doesnt find it odd that I collect cards, I dont think she really knows how much these little things cost. If she finds out, my collection may start shrinking:)
In addition to my growing vintage collection, I have many of those worthless cards from the 80's. I started collecting cards as a kid in the 70's and early 80's until I went to high school. The oldest cards I ever collected dated to the 50's (unfortunately, despite growing up only 30 minutes from the House of Cards, I had no clue as a kid that I could buy cards from the early 1900's). When I finally got back into the hobby (about 2 years ago) it didnt take long to discover the prewar issues - though I still consider myself somewhat of a novice vintage collector. Its been fun and its a great way to connect with the game's history. Sorry to ramble.
