Hello everyone,

New member here from Ontario, Canada and also pretty new too vintage. I got back into cards in 2011/12 after a 20 year absence, first buying a few boxes of A&G and then moving heavily into chrome prospects. I'm still enjoying prospecting but recently re-watched Ken Burns baseball and got the itch to buy some vintage. I've been reading up on here and other places online for a few months but still have a lot to learn. I will probably be focusing on pre-war HOFs but we'll see where my research takes me.

Regards,
Jeff

Welcome Jeff.... You mentioned a Ken Burns film you watched, here (shown before) is a circa late 1860s cdv used to make a stereoview pictured in one of his books. Hope you enjoy the forum...

Welcome aboard, Jeff. Your path sounds strangely familiar to mine. I collected as a child, stopped when I was about 20, picked the hobby up again when I was 39, jumping heavily into prospecting, and buying a lot of Bowman Chrome prospect autos. I just got burned out. The prices got a little out of control. I've always loved and have long studied the history of baseball, so transitioning to pre-war and vintage cards seemed like a natural fit. And it's been so much fun. I'll still buy some modern, but the days of my trying to get a Chrome prospect auto for all the members of the top 100 prospect lists put out by MLB.com and Baseball America are behind me.

You should have a lot of fun here. Lots of new things for you to look at, and think about collecting.

If you ever have questions, I'm happy to help. Feel free to pm me if you like. Good luck!

Bill

Welcome! I am new here too and I am having lots of fun learning about vintage. I also came from modern and the blowoutcards forum but I enjoy this more.
