I began collecting cards 45 years ago, and it's been on my mind a lot lately because I've been guesting on a few podcasts and the story of "how I started in collecting" always comes up. Last night, I was on the About The Cards podcast with the three hosts of the show, three guys I've also traded with, by the way. There I am discussing my hobby past or something in my past, no doubt. That's me in my current state, for better or worse, still in love with collecting. This is me during the very first year I collected in 1975: Yeah, I know. What happened? Well, life happened that's what. This is what collecting does to you. ... OK, I'm kidding but, yeah, I've always been more of a lifetime guy than a moment-in-time guy. By that, I mean, I like being involved in things for the long haul. I appreciate how people or things change and grow over time and I like seeing that growth. My favorite shows or movies are always character-drive...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
