36 years old now; the first cards that I bought on my own were as a 6 year old in 1979 (still have them). Fortunately, I switched as a 10-12 year old to collecting the 1957 set, since my father loved telling stories to me about the players, and I loved hearing them, so I spent my money on '50s cards. I still bought modern cards as a teenager, but am glad I caught the vintage bug back in the '80s!
