I collected as a kid from 1973-1979, then when I went to high school I stopped completely until 1994. Why 1994 you might ask? Thats when the OJ Simpson saga began. My father and I were watching the white bronco on tv going down the interstate when my father looked at me and said "Don't you have some of his football cards from when you were a kid". I dug them out of the attic, thumbed through them and within a week started collecting again.
Collected mostly modern until two & a half years ago when I bought my first T206. Since then, I've never looked back.
Other than buying T206s, one of my side projects is to finish my 1979 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid. I'm close to being done and it has been fun putting it together. I may finish another one of my 70s sets, but I'm undecided at the moment.
