Got overly zealous in collecting during the 90's. Flea markets, garage sales, close-outs, and auctions..now have over quarter million cards. Stars, chase cards, inserts, autos, and non-sports.

That's a lot of cards, but I'll bet they were a lot of fun to chase down, too!

I am 65 years old and I wish I had the cards from when I was a kid in school I remember and love the cards from 64 thru 1972 and collected all those years unfortunately my cards were thrown out .I have a big collection as I started collecting again in 86 my favorite topps set from the 90's was the 87 topps set I loved the wood outline look which was similar to the 62 card set Topps are the best and that's what I still colllect

I've always loved the 87s, too (62s, also). Great to hear you came back to the hobby and have kept it up!
