Feeling like a kid
@hangman...Im 34 and I love the 1915 cj and 34 goudey set more gthan any other cards and I started collecting when I was 5 or so. BB cards were a HUGE part of childhood as my father took me to shows and he eventually started collecting.
Now, when I get my 48 bowman mmcoskey or my 1915 cj alexander I feel like a kid again. I open it, have a special place for the new addition, show it to the wife, talk over and over again about it...I feel like a kid again EVEN if I never saw the guy play. Its our history, who we are. Im basically willing to do this b/c most adults havent felt like a kid in a LOOOOOng time and I think thats a shame. I hope my collection stays valuable but at the same time Ive received more value from it than any amount of $$$ could give me. We just need more kids to feel like kids and get them away from all the electronics.
