46 years young...single and residing is SF Bay area...work for a university auxiliary that focuses on helping to obtain research grants and contracts for faculty. Born in a US Naval base in Japan and moved to US as a child and immediately hooked on baseball cards. As a teen bought cards from a Sporting News Ad and subscribed to Trader Speaks and SCD. Went away from the hobby for awhile..but within the last few years rekindled my interest. Current focus is on collecting pre war baseball cards by type and exhibit cards of hall of famers...joining this board has been a blast so far! I've acquired some great cards from some members in the brief time I've been here. |

I'm Martin Neal, 52, father of 5, 3 girls and two boys. I was born near Greensboro, North Carolina, did prep school in Greenwich, Ct. and I required 8 years to finish college. Partied and played rugby the whole time. At eighteen, I hitchhiked across the country to join the United Farm Workers union, picketed Safeways and picked asparagus in the Imperial valley (Calexeco,Ca). I can't believe my parents would let me go. Too young to really understand the danger. Worked as a commercial fisherman, scalloping, shrimping, beach seining and long net hauling. Spent a while working in Yuganik bay, Kodiak island. I lived in St. Thomas for a couple of years before getting married. I have owned a few video stores and currently am a realtor and build houses. I coach an excel league basketball team. I played full court twice a week until a couple of years ago (knees). |

My name is David and I am 30 years old. I live on the SC/GA border with my wonderful wife and three children (son recently turned 6, daughter just turned 1, and the third is due in April). I am a behavioral psychologist who works primarily with individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities. I've been collecting since I was a kid but became serious about pre-war cards while in graduate school. I am a huge Braves fan and my collecting, at this time, centers around that. My current collecting goal is to obtain a type card from every year that the Braves organization fielded a team. It is in memory of my grandfather (the reason I love this game), who passed away last year. |

A little bio and a picture! I'm a sprite 31 years of age, have been married for 3 1/2 years and have a beautiful baby girl named Elena (5 months). I have collected in one fashion or another for 23 of those 31 years. My collection really has no direction, and I like it as such. I'm a writer for Huggins and Scott auctions and I lovr it. It combines three of my passions; baseball cards, research, and writing. I also am a music fan (indie, punk, shoegaze, noise-pop, darkwave, and 1960's doo wop). Politically, I tend to be more of a "conservative liberatarian", although I voted Democrat and Green party during the mid-terms. I am a 1999 graduate of Towson University in Towson, Maryland, with a major in Mass Communications. I completed one year of post-graduate education. I love the Baltimore Orioles and Arkansas Razorbacks. I also enjoy art, Jan Van Eyck is a favorite of mine. Additionally, I'm also an active Mormon (Latter-day Saint) and have found much peace and knowledge in those teachings. I served as a missionary in Texas for two years (from whence this picture is derived). I also love slow-pitch softball, baseball and flag football. Here is a picture of me as a missionary in the beautiful West Texas Panhandle town of Dumas (pop. 12,000, 60 miles North of Amarillo). |

Well, the problem is, I can't ever decide what I want the most. I start collecting prewar, but miss the ease of getting a Topps card for a set, until I realize that I can't get the SP or high #....then I'm back to prewar. I only collect the regular Topps issues, plus the variations and sometimes Topps Traded or other Topps issue from any given year. I certainly do not keep up with UV stuff other than looking up the newest regular Topps issue. |
