My favorite set design is 1965 Topps. I just like the design with the pennants. It is also one of the sets I have the most autographs for my Cardinals collection

1963 Fleer... I like the way they look. This also may have been the first pack I ever bought. I was young, but still remember these cards.

My favorite set is the 2009 Ultimate collection Ultimate Material Signatures set. I really like the design that Upper Deck used and they really put some awesome patches in their cards which are some of my favorites from my collection as this was their last set they basically came out with before they lost their license. Heres the ones from my PC for all to see:

My favorite set is 1971 Topps and the reason I like it is that this set is some of the first cards I was ever given

Though not baseball, 1990 Skybox BK nailed it in my youth. It got rid of the background noise with some sweet 90's paint. It focused on the player and the individual play happening.

Did I mention the 90's artwork?

I became interested in cards in 1988 when my aunt bought me and my brother the June baseball beckett with Matt Nokes on the cover. We discovered we had a 1984 Fleer Don Mattingly rookie card that was worth $33! That was a good find for an 8 year old. I was hooked and have collected ever since.

My sister introduced me to cards in the early 90s when the Pirates were one of the best teams. For some reason the small Western PA town that I grew up in had an LCS. My sister would take me there every few weeks and let me pick out a card. As a young kid, I thought that was the coolest thing.

I got interested in collecting in the early 60's. Was in grade school and seen some kids flipping. Looked like fun, so I started collecting and flipping. Oh those poor cards sure got some dings.

I started to collect back in 1989 when a high school friend took me to a card show. Ripping packs is basically sport gambling for kids so it got me hooked.

I got interested in collecting baseball cards back in 1993 when my uncle and I went to the Rosemont Convention Center and I bought my first Ken Griffey Jr card which was a 1993 Fleer Ultra base card. I heard beforehand of how good and popular Ken Griffey Jr was as a player from what my uncle told me so I was convinced that I needed to get one of his cards. From that day forward I got hooked on collecting his cards and am so glad I have since that day on.

My dad got me started collecting when I was probably about 6-7. At the time I wasn't super interested, but had fun opening packs with him. I remember back then just hitting a jersey card was super freaking exciting, wish it was still that way.

I would buy a few packs every now and again from like 2010-2016 just for the fun of it. However, these days, now that I'm older it's really become my hobby. Love opening packs and searching for PC cards on eBay.
