Now I have adult money, and I'm just hoping I can keep my hamster on its wheel and focused on the major project (see my post from today for how I'm not keeping the hamster focused!).
There is one perk to collecting vintage and "old timey" players: there's very little need to bust wax, as odds are I won't hit anything I need for my collection.
I'll also say the folks collecting this stuff have been far more pleasant to deal with!

We are generally, definitely not always, a bit more mature crowd.
And welcome to the forum, belatedly. It looks like you have gotten your feet wet well so far.
If you are anything like a lot of us (definitely me) you won't stay too focused. I might recommend type card collecting. It goes well with being all over the place.
And most threads need more cards....so here is one. I don't collect signed cards but this was not much more than I would have paid for it without a signature.
