Opening wax packs in 1983 as a 9-year old.
Thanks to Donruss, Dick Perez and Ty Cobb. Got in love with that puzzle portraying an ancient baseball icon I knew little about at the time. Took a bus every week to pick up the SCD periodical at the only news shop in town that carried it and started annoying old dealers the age of my grandfather with phone calls and buying tobacco cards through the mail. Never looked back.

I really miss those days finding great stuff, my first year with prewar was when I first started making good money after college. There was a good amount of stamp shops and coin shops in my area back them in the late 1990s. There was always a selection of T206 and Goudeys to pickup, so I got really hooked. When I got married, read the entire Halper's Auction catalog. Start looking just everywhere and then I started hleping one of my best friends sell and the rest is history. Lots of fun over the years!
Happy collecting! Jimmy
