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!

Collecting since the second grade - 49 leaf's purchased from proceeds from returning pop bottles collected from construction workers at Cashman's store on route 9 in Natick Mass. Thanks to my late mother I still have those cards and about 100 punched canceled 1933 Goudeys given to me by my step-granddad.

Ripped Topps packs in the fifties. Lost interest for four decades. Started collecting in earnest around 2000, first with sets from my boyhood, gradually into pre-WW2, then pre-WW1. So . . ten years in the Hobby and good for another 20 unless the Devil gets me. Collecting vintage baseball cards and the ensuing camaraderie has been one of the great pleasures of my life.

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

My latest run has been about 5 years with the purchase of a nice-sized group of '33 Goudeys that I was fortunate to acquire and then on to the addiction of other vintage cards. I do enjoy the hobby and the electronic friendships.

Like many others I collected as a kid with Topps from late '66 to probably '75 or so.
