Default when and how did you start?
Posted By: Geno

I started collecting pre-war when I was high school. I grew up in Freeport, IL and made the trek into Chicago for the National (or maybe it was just a big show) sometime around 1981 or so (can't remember the year exactly). Anyway, I was looking for a Reggie Jackson rookie and saw a lot of ten or so T205s in VGish shape. I bought them all, including Frank Chance, for about $10 and the guy threw in an Ex-Mtish Eddie Collins for another $15 or so. That hooked me on T205s and I finally completed a basic set about five years ago. Man, that seems like it was yesterday...

Take Care, Geno
