I have a friend who started collecting (buying "old" records, back in the
1930s when he was a kid.   He was junking for 5, to 10 year old records at
that time, I'd say.  He also bought new records of artists/style he liked.

A related subject: when did record collecting, as opposed to record 
buying, start?
