So how old are you and how long have you been into Pre War
 
Posted By: <b>Spencer Wolff</b><p>Howdy doody, just turned 30, I collected new and old cards with my paper route money from '85-'90, then life happened. Sold all of my cards for next to nothing while I was in college for...drinking money, I think. Don't know why I can't remember. I bought a pack of Cracker Jack cards 2 years ago and pulled a George Kaiserling '15 CJ, and it was all over. It's a good way to pick up the ladies though, "I don't own a house, my car sucks, but have you seen this Otto Knabe, he's the first card in the set, pretty sweet huh?" Hey, where you going, come back...... My cards always love me, and I love them.

Posted By: <b>ernest reyes</b><p>Well... I'm 33, but turning 34 in a month. I was an avid collector throughout the 80's and even became a dealer in the late 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately, I sold the new over produced cards from that time period. I stopped collecting and selling in the early 90's because of college, but from time to time I would show up at a show for kicks. Then, in 1999 i discovered eBay and realized that I love these cardboard delicacies. I also made the realization that older was better. I started with a 1972 set(my birth year) and 1952 set (because I've always wanted to) and suddenly found myself staring at pre-war cards. By 2001 I was addicted to pre-war cards. I'm especially fond of 19th century baseball themed trade cards. I've also bought some T5's, T206's, Tharp's ice cream, 1947 tip top breads, old scorecards and anything Dodgers.<br><br><a href="http://dodgersblueheaven.blogspot.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://dodgersblueheaven.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/ernestreyes</a>
