One of the most disconcerting things about coming back after so long is: When did Walter Johnson become WaJo, and how can we put a stop to this?

I second that for the constant overuse of the ever so corny and cheesy term "GOAT".

Now then, if all the collectors who use "Matty" for Christy Mathewson were to stop using Matty, I could bring myself to stop using WaJo!

I'm in on avoiding WaJo, if we can add "Wags" to the let's try to avoid list.

I’m definitely one of those who got back into it earlier this year partly due to covid. I started in the 80s and into the late 90s. I stopped when I went to college. Now that life has settled a bit, I have some expendable income, and I can get the cards I always wanted as a kid... I’ve been on a roll and loving it!
The investment side of it is interesting to say the least. I definitely stay away from modern and stick to vintage, but I’m still skeptical of even vintage maintaining. I know it has a decent track record but the covid jump has been excessive. Sure there might be a correction, but some argue that it’s fail safe for long term. I can’t help but think of the dutch tulip story. But then again, I’m not doing it purely for investment purposes.... however it makes dropping 20K on a card more palatable! |

This may get me laughed out of the room (or worse!), but the Topps Project 2020 set is what brought me back to the hobby. I've always preferred vintage cards though so that's what I gravitated back towards.
