This is how goofey my brother is, I come home in the Spring of 1982 with a set of t201 and grip of t205s and this doesn't inspire him to get into vintage cards, but a silly cigar label does :p |

How Vintage Collecting Began For Me

I first got the vintage bug from the neighbors. Their dad was a college professor and he brought home old cards from his students for them to play with. I saw a lot of 1954 Topps cards and was instantly smitten. My uncle then bought me that Great American Flipping and whatever the hell else it was called book and I spent hours studying the beautiful Topps and Bowman cards in it. I then got my 1952 Walt Dropo card and I was off to the races. |

I first began collecting what I considered to be vintage in 1983 and 1984, very shortly after I began collecting baseball cards in general. |

Aaron, You can always do like the HOF and rotate your inventory periodically. Just buy some of those plastic tote boxes and throw them in your garage when they are not on display. |

I've been sitting here thinking that I don't know what triggered the jump back to dead ball era cards and memorablilia, and then to 19th century stuff. But that isn't quite true. |

Julie, why are you leaving? The only problem I see is your ability to read something personal into something that is not. I'm not sure why my brother's post would make you want to leave. He directed nothing towards you and even I had no clue that the Hoy was your card. |

Julie, This had ZERO intention of having any dirogatory comment on you or anyone else for that matter. I for one did not realize as my brother pointed out that it was your card. Leon in the past has receieved ribbing on this board for posting his cards and that was what i was referring too. I think that posting vintage images is great and enhances the content of the board. Like my brother said try not to read to deeply into what is always written, you are one of the best contributors on the board. hang around. |

That's an excellent idea and one I'm going to have to consider. |
