38 years old. Been collecting since about 96/97, although I got my first game used bat way back in 81 while at a Yankee game, when Aurelio Rodriguez cracked his bat during BP and guy walked up and handed it to me. Still have that bat.

I grew up in the small town of Milledgeville, Ga (of recent NFL infamy), but moved to South Carolina as a young adult, and was never near enough to a major-league team to know g-u stuff was available until recently.

Coxfan, good for you! I walk 4-6 miles daily and ride a bike for leisure fun.

I am 48 and have collected cards since 1977. My first game worn jersey was purchased in 1988; it is a green 1985 Athletics Bill Krueger and I still have it.

50. Been collecting for 36 years. Started out with sports cards (36 years); then autographs (22 years); then game used (13 years). My first game used was a Juan Gonzalez game used bat, batting gloves, and cleats. Was hooked from then on.
