Every collector tells the story of how he started as a child, got distracted by girls, then restarted as an adult. My story has a twist: it was my mother-in-law who got me restarted.
She was a collector of mint US stamps and plate blocks, while I preferred foreign used stamps, so we were compatible. I used my APS membership to buy items for her and later to sell her collection. But she willed her better items to her grandson!
