How did you get started in this hobby?
My story is a little pathetic...my dd was in the 4th grade and came home crying because a little boy in her class teased her because she did not own any Giambi cards. Mind you this was 3 years ago. Well that weekend I probably spent about 1k on cards and she was able to go back to school and shut that little boy up...he has never teased her again...she even gave him some really nice cards for Christmas that year...well I was hooked...I've never looked back...how did it start for you?

hmmmm wish i could say it started with a 1000 dollar purchase of cards lol, my substitute teacher in 5th grade was a really big collector and so was my principle, i was amazed that he had every single topps base card made to date, at that time all the way from 1951 to 1990 somthing, turns out the sub stayed for 3 months or so and we got him a present as a class, my mom picked up a few packs of cards for him, and kept a few for me, starting what is now my hobby

My uncle bought me some cards and I got hooked instantly. That was in 1979.

When I was 9 years old, I went to my first MLB game, Dodgers vs. Phillies at Dodger Stadium, and got hooked on the Dodgers. Shortly, I discovered baseball cards being sold in the local drugstores and mom & pop stores. My mom would buy me a few packs now and then and I always got excited (still do) whenever I got a Dodgers card. My cards were also a good way to pass the time in my room whenever I was grounded, too--lol. Baseball cards bring me closer to the game. Whenever I'm watching or listening to the game, I feel more familiar with the players, thanks to my cards.
