Newish member intro

Greetings, I’ve been lurking off and on here for a while, and thought I should introduce myself. This forum is awesome.
My name is Jim. I love baseball, history, nostalgia and speculative investing - perfect for this hobby! I grew up in upstate NY during the junk wax era. My first wax pack was given to me by my uncle in 1987. I ripped it open to reveal a wood framed Lenny Dykstra of the then World Champion NY Mets. I’ve been a Mets fan and a card collector ever since. Now I live in the Cleveland area and have started collecting again over the last couple years - mostly vintage. I am actively working on:
- All NY Mets team sets 62-present
- 1959 Topps
- 1 card for each HOF during playing/coaching yrs if possible

Also collect:
- Doby, Irvin, Cecil Travis, Gwynn, Olerud, David Wright
- Old Cleveland cards - Joss, Lajoie, Sewell, etc (Anyone w affordable Fatima)?
- 1967 Topps

TLDR: Hello. This forum is awesome. Mets. Cleveland. HOF.
