Welcome back! You're not the only one here who's on a budget, but pre-war is still a lot of fun with limited funds. I've been on a budget since I started, and I've gotten to about 90-95 T206's with no problem. It just takes time. There's nothing like pre-war. Happy Father's Day!

Let the hobby be nothing more than a sublimation to your job.
Let the hobby happen.

When I re entered the hobby in 1982, I was 51.
I started with rookie cards, and sets from that period.
I then gravitated to the sets of the cards that I use to flip when I was ten, like the 1941 Play Ball.
I then stumbled upon the pre war tobacco sets.
All of them just happened, no preconceived plan.
Today, my 401K is streaking towards a 101K, and I'm still enjoying the hobby.

While with the Marines in Korea, we had a motto:

The Unbelievable we can do ... The Impossible ... will take a little longer.

Semper Fi!
