How long you collected as a kid ?...

[peterb69]

I'm still a kid at heart, so does that mean I never stopped?

Actually I started in 1969, and collected just Topps Baseball thru 1979. I remember an older lady from our church at this time (she was probably in her 80's) asked if I wanted her deceased husband's cards he collected when he was a kid. I was to polite and said no, I prefer the modern players. I always wonder what she would have given me....T-cards? Goudeys?

I then got back into collection in 1986 collecting Red Sox players from Topps, Fleer, & Donruss as they headed to the world series. It was also then I collected my first T-card, T206 McGraw glove at hip. I then collected various T & N cards since.
