<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1177779, member: 10103&quot;]Hey, no hard questions in this Flyer contest......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like Greg above me, it was my father who got me into collecting.&nbsp; One day, when I was around the tender age of fourteen, he brought out a metal box and a few of the old Whitman folders.&nbsp; The individual folders contained Mercury and Roosevelt dimes, Jefferson nickels, Washington quarters and (of course) Linclon cents.&nbsp; The albums were by no means complete and he explained that I could have them if I managed to complete at least one of the albums.&nbsp; The first one I did complete was the Roosevelt dimes.&nbsp; Piece of cake as at that time I had a paper route and silver roseys were quite plentiful in the change.&nbsp; I was hooked for life and the albums were mine to keep.&nbsp; I&#039;ve still got them.&nbsp; Oh, the metal box?&nbsp; What was in it?&nbsp; Proof sets......&#039;54-&#039;63.&nbsp; Dad explained that he&#039;d been buying them since we were little.&nbsp; That metal box was instumental in keeping me focused on &quot;moderns&quot; for many years. It wasn&#039;t till I arrived at this forum that I began to branch out in my collecting endevour.&nbsp; This forum community, in which we reside, has been influential in helping me expand my collecting horizons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
