I'm in the 4 year range,since I stopped collecting around '79-'80 when my mom left my cards behind once when we moved from Mass. back to California.Was a simple mistake,but I just stopped collecting then.Got back into it around 4 years ago,and realised I have much more of a passion for pre-war cards than anything else.I have thousands of cards from the '70's to present,they just don't do anything for me............
T206 is my addiction-just love 'em.............

25 years for me I think because I am older then Leon D.

About 34 years.

Opened my first wax pack in 1976 at age 7 and have been going strong ever since (some years stronger than others).

Collected as a kid (mostly 50s, 60s and 70s). Quit in High School and started up again about 4 to 5 years ago collecting pre-war.

36 years old now; the first cards that I bought on my own were as a 6 year old in 1979 (still have them). Fortunately, I switched as a 10-12 year old to collecting the 1957 set, since my father loved telling stories to me about the players, and I loved hearing them, so I spent my money on '50s cards. I still bought modern cards as a teenager, but am glad I caught the vintage bug back in the '80s!

I started collecting when I was 9 years old, and worked at a few shops when I got a bit older. Then started going to shows and I just could not stop, then focused on my studies did take a small break maybe 3 years or so.
