Just got here.....How long have you collected? Poll

[whitehse]

Great ideas for both polls.

I have collected since the age of 9 and I am now 46. I never stopped collecting but sold off my colletion many times and refocused my attention on the hobby. Currently working on re-gaining my youth by rebuilding the 1972-76 Topps sets that I collected as a kid. Doing these sets as raw sets after realizing that graded form would be crazy since I dont make a whole lot of cash here at the job. I will leave the graded sets to Mr Crandell and others.

I wish I could get into pre-war like many of you guys but as a die hard set collector it would drive me nuts that I couldnt complete a set I was working on. Since many of the hall of fame cards are priced out of my budget I will have to live that pre-war dream by watching what you guys post on the boards.
