Welcome to the group! I say stupid things all the time, I'm glad to not be alone anymore. :)
I too collected as a kid (was born in 1983) and put it away for the rest of my life, until a few years ago when I came back to collecting. I came here and posted a bit a few years ago, then stopped collecting/participating until about a year ago. Now I am trying to catch up! I know what I like but have a scary amount to learn.
