Since age five in early 1981, still have a handful of those first cards. A kid brought a garbage bag full of cards into school and let us pick out a couple each. I took all Pirates players and for some reason, a Paul Dade card. Wouldn't trade those cards for anything.
Started vintage at age 16, bought a T206 Bresnahan portrait up in Cooperstown

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
