Lessons from Downtime

July 16th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Growing up, it was the sports themselves that fueled my interest in the hobby.  In the days (ok years) before ESPN and the onset of 24 hour sports coverage, all I knew from players and teams came from the back of the Topps sets I tried to put together every year.  As an adult collector, it was the new found love of ripping that rekindled my passion for collecting, but my renewed interest in pursuing my favorite players hooked me for good.  All in all though, while there is enjoyment in collecting for the sake of collecting, the primary lesson I’ll take away from downtime is that this hobby is not about the experiences of one individual collector, but rather the collective experiences of us all.  To that end, thanks to all of you who take time from your lives to share your experiences on our site.
