I have been collecting for 45 years, I have a great love and passion for the game and the cards, the hunt of going to a different local card shop, shows, and the national convention is one of the greatest days I can have, I am not like most people that post pictures of cards of superstars that have a game used jersey, autograph, bat, etc. I would rather post a card that has some personal value to me, most of the early tobacco cards, and the years afterwards came from my grandparents, and great grandparents, as well as me being a 10 year old kid going around the neighborhood doing odd jobs so i could get paid in old baseball cards that were sitting in the attic, or somewhere for decades, and not being touched for decades, or getting paid .75 cents to a dollar, and then running down to the local variety store and buying cards that i would wait until i got home to rip open the packages, see what I got and then get all the neighborhood kids together so we could trade with one another, I do buy cards as an investment for my grand kids, but i also buy cards because i like the look of the design, and the picture, it doesn't matter if it is a superstar or common, its about the love of collecting and the sport for me
