Greetings from Knoxville, TN!

Hello Sports Fans,

I'm happy to be a new member and hope to add value to this board. I'm in my third wave of collecting and really enjoying it. First wave: 1976. Scouted garage sales as a 10 yo and hit the jackpot twice. Sold that collection and bought a car. Of course, I regret it, which lead to the second wave that started in 2003. Collected all Pete Rose cards in PSA 8s and 9s. Sold those and regret it. Third wave started a few weeks ago and I'm focusing on all the cards I didn't have when I was a kid, specifically Brooklyn Dodgers, 1914/15 Cracker Jacks, and completing a Topps 1957 set in near mint condition. I won't be selling again.

I love this hobby. Picked up a dream card that arrived today: 1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese in a high end PSA 8 without the pink print dot on the right.

I hope to build some relationships here and have fun. Thanks for reading this.

Cheers!
Scott
