When I was about 10 (1972) I got a catalog from Wholesale Cards in Georgetown Conn. I still have the catalog. I loved looking at all the old cards and for Christmas/Birthdays my mother would let me get some cards. I got a couple T206 for 75 cents and miscellaneous Topps/Bowman cards from the 50's. The Goudeys were $4. Couldn't afford those! A few years after a card store opened in my town and I would spend paper route money there. Finally bought a Goudey Lefty O'Doul for $5. Then my dad got me a Joe Cronin for my BDay. Got the last card (#92 Gehrig) from a board member about a week ago. Only took me 30 year to complete the set! Minus Lajoie of course.

Took a hiatus in the 80's and most of the 90's but with the advent of the Internet and espcially Ebay I've been able to startup again collecting well loved (PSA 1, 2's or less) Goudeys, T Cards and others.
