I love this hobby
I know I have seen a thread like this before, but I love this hobby. As a 16 year old going onto my 5th year of collecting I am glad I bought my first pack of cards 5 years ago, it started an addiction for me and I just cant ever seem to get enough autos, cards and most importantly, game used items!

As you get older and accumulate more money to spend it will only get better. When i was a teen they didn't have GU stuff on the mass market like they do today so your lucky in that respect.

Re: I love this hobby
When I was 16 the last thing on my mind was this hobby. I was more into other things, if you catch my drift
Don't worry if you lose sight of the hobby in your late teens. You'll have the rest of your life to jump right back in. I got back in right after my first child was born and the party life style was coming to an end. I'm just saying enjoy life while your young.Mike

Re: I love this hobby
As a relatively young collector with only three or so years under my belt, i cant imagine anything else taking up wayyy too many hours of my life even when i start to feel i have everything i could ever want, i look up and someone on here has a must have item. This is simply the best

Re: I love this hobby
I am to an extent new to game used collecting, but not sports collecting. For myself, I like to collect a few things that have meaning to me and that has really kept me going with this hobby.
And while I love my small collection, I find as much fun to come here and see everyone share their own collections. I am in awe of so many of the collections here and find looking through the photos a lot of fun. It's nice to see people display their items and share them instead of hiding them away from the world.
Additionally, I like the knowledge and the friendliness of this hobby, but more to the point, this forum. Since I have never met anyone here, I can't call anyone a friend, but I feel despite being a "rookie" to the game used portion of collecting, everyone here has been very insightful and welcoming.Cheers,
Jack
