Adam J. MoraineI am not sure as to when I began collecting prewar. However, my late grandfather (God bless him) had gotten myself into baseball card collecting in 1988 because he had wanted me to have a hobby. He had just recently retired from his job in 1988. Therefore, he had plenty of time to help me focus on my collecting interests. We would attend local baseball card shows, as well as local baseball card shops too. I STILL have about 99.9% of the cards that we had purchased together. Mostly 1950's-1960's cards since neither one of us knew what to collect. I wish I knew THEN what I know NOW. But my grandfather, was not a collector, nor did he follow baseball. Gradually, he did get "into" baseball as my hobby, became my passion. He would attend the Bob Feller Museum with me, and watch the World Series and all-star games with me. One of my fondest moments, was watching Mac's 62nd homerun game with him on television. Those my friends, are the memories that I will cherish, and miss forever.
Best regards,
