Ed McCollumSpent 20 years in advertising, starting as a finish artist and working up to creative director. Started collecting T206s during that time.
Sept. 12, 2001, my employer lost his largest account, an airline manufacturer. I lost my job soon after.
Found work as the art director for a non-profit provider of services and supports to the mentally retarded/developmentally disabled, with locations in 51 cities in 15 states. The pay is not nearly as good, haven't bought a card in just over four years, but I'm home every night by six, and have seen more of my wife and son in the past four years than the thirteen before combined.
Life is good.
