When did you start collecting sports cards? Did someone help get you started, or did you stumble upon this yourself? I started collecting 3 years ago as a self-defense mechanism at my job. It was my first job out of college, wanted to impress, etc, and several co-workers plus my boss were into...

That's a great tip actually. I need to remember to check out pawn shops and thrift stores. I also regularly check out yard sales (crapshoot, but occasionally good cards for cheap). I do a lot of the rest of my buying on eBay.

I also look for cards at yard sales and flea markets. There's no guarantee of finding anything, but I've gotten some cool cards for cheap that way. I've been collecting for 3 years and try to limit my spending to about $150 a year. I probably spend more on binders/displays actually!
