Personal Pre-War Set and Collector Survey

[mrreality68]

WOW

This is a Great Thread and lots of great stories and Great Cards

1. How long have you been collecting pre-war cards?

10 Years started because I was trying to Recapture my youth and get my Son into my interests (DID NOT WORK. Loves the Game but not so much the history or the collecting)

2. What is the approximate largest number of pre-war cards/items you've
ever owned at any one time?

Approx 60 although I have narrowed it down to focus on Some Key players and on the quality over the quantity.

3. Approximately how many pre-war cards/items do you currently still own?

Currently 17 and slowly climbing

4. What is/are the most significant card(s)/item(s) you currently own?
(Not what you may have owned at one time.)

For me the most significant card is the 1914 CJ Joe Jackson because of both my interest in Joe Jackson but also because of my father's time with me when I was a kid collecting cards and his love of the Crack Jack Cards.

5. What complete sets or near complete sets (say 75% or more) do you
currently own? (Again, not counting sets you used to own, and only
counting the baseball cards in multi-subject sets in determining the
percentage complete. And not including as sets any issue with only 1 or
2 listed baseball cards/items in it.)

None At this time
