What Brought You To Collect Vintage?

[bigtrain]

Collected cards when I was a kid in the 60's but when I went off to college, my brother sold them pay for a paint job on his Firebird. About 1985 or so, I had a client who owed me quite a bit of money. He said he as going to pay me as soon as he sold his baseball cards and memorabilia. I didn't trust the guy so I told him to bring the stuff to me and I would sell it. Turned out to be some nice T206s, Goudeys and 1920's exhibits. I held on to most of that collection and was hooked.

I just started working backwards with eras. Always collected 50's, then got older with more disposable income and the older eras started becoming available. I then found net54 and now I owe some $$$$$$$$$!

Collected as a kid in the late 60's early 70's, got back into it in the early 90's when I found my 1972 Topps baseball set. Traded it for mostly Roberto Clemente cards, then started doing shows and bought my first real vintage card, a '33 yellow Ruth.

I was 16 years old when I sold a run of Topps sets in 1980 at a card show in Lancaster Pa .Turned the cash around and bought T 206's.Sold and bought on and off since.
