My collection and the Board members

[Leon]

Sounds like you are having fun Josh. As you have read, and I am sure understand, this hobby is the proverbial marathon and not a sprint. Other than that, keep having fun. That is what it's all about.

Thanks Leon I should really try and remind myself that it isn't a race, sometimes that's very hard for me to do lol.

Hey Josh, thanks for sharing! I too, being mostly a hockey guy more interested in memorabilia than cards, am amazed at the passion and knowledge of board members regarding prewar baseball. And as Leon stated, if you're having fun, that's what its all about!
Enjoy your day collecting!

Regards,
Brent

Josh. I went through the same emotions about prewar, wishing I had bought much more much earlier. Now that I have pretty close to the collection I want I realize that I appreciate the process much more than anything. Making your database and slowly building your set is the best part of the hobby along with sharing it here.

Post some pics and brag on your set - there are lots of us on here who collect low grade and enjoy the well-loved cards! I started by buying Poor and Authentic T206's (only HOFers), and have no upgraded many to 2, 3, or even 4 grades, but still have several 1's with great eye appeal.

This site is quite a learning experience . Lots of people with solid knowledge and quality collections that'd still amaze me from time to time even though I've been around collecting most of my life . By the way Leon I have a T205 Bris Lord I'll trade you for that old ugly Darby Chocolates card any time . Just kidding .

Yeah, but there sure aren't many Darby's Chocolates around in any condition, let alone one of the greatest second basemen of all time--treasure any one of these you can lay your hands on!

Best wishes to everyone,
