I'm over 25, and yes I have to use a miniature magnifying glass in the astronomical odds of pulling a variation or SSP. Even after that, my eyes still hurt! I've liked heritage for a number of years. Missing a ton from the early sets, trying to get back into it.

I love Heritage as well , but I am still nearly 10 years away from sets that I got as a kid . I don't have trouble with the regular numbers but the codes at the bottom when I am checking for variations is very difficult to focus on .

I might make everyone on here feel old when I say this, but the first year of any sports cards I remember collecting was 2005 Topps Football and Baseball

Wow, we had more than I realized. I knew Ian here, and of course my son. Glad we have a bunch of younger guys here. Hopefully we can get more to keep this great hobby alive and kicking for many, many more years!

Thank you all for restoring my faith some what in this hobby. I'm hoping it will exist long enough to get my son into it. The people I trade with normally on other sites are about as old as me. I started collecting 1973 Topps baseball at the age of six. 16 cent packs was my allowence for the week. And yes I still have quite a few of them.

Hey, I may be older, but had the privledge of collecting cards when they were a nickel a pack at the dime store, you didn't worry about handling them or carrying them on a bike in a shoe box to your friends house to trade them, or have to be concerned with collecting 50 insert sets, or parallels, and definitely wasn't concerned with collecting the short prints, because the only ones that were SP was because they were the 5th, 6th, and 7th series. There also wasn't 50 different manufacturers to choose from. Simpler times, those I wouldn't trade.

aww to have those days of pre 1981 back. I got what I wished for a Topps cards were getting boring in the late 70's Topps needs competition. Now I wish I didn't get my wish.
Been buying cards and chewing gum since 1964 so guess that makes you guys feel young some.
Collecting, Flipping, used to make a motor sound, trading, swapping, running to laundry room because left cards in pants night before Mom was doing laundry.

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
