I am 24, and have been collecting game used items for about 3 years now. Like many others, it all started with cards and autographs years ago.

Thanks. Although the parents aren't always glad about the $250 or $300 purchases

I'm 29, started almost 2 years ago.

Thankfully the only thing I can get myself to spend any dollars on these days is a nice Manny bat. Hope it stays that way for my own good!

I'm 38. Been collecting cards since I was 8. Owned a shop once, partner and I sold it when we both had to get 'real' jobs as we were both recently married and starting families...

Got my first game used bat when I was 15, Andy Van Slyke Rookie bat from the Cardinals. I was fortunate enough to do some promotional work for Kissimmee Sticks when I was in college and that allowed me to acquire some neat stuff, most of which I sold during that time, because, as I said, I was in college!

Someone on here mentioned that Juan Gonzalez was the first bat they ever got. Brought back some memories as we got to know Juan, Pudge Rodriguez, and some of the other Rangers pretty good as several of them swung Kissimmee Sticks for awhile during 93-94.

Thanks for creating this topic, it's been cool reading all of the posts!
