Wow, I missed this thread, and it's been revived several times. Just really enjoyed reading through everyone's stories...


Easy for me...Jack Leatherman...a retired school teacher from Lake Stevens...met him at a Mariners baseball game (which was crazy to travel an hour away to meet someone who lived super close) and he gave me at 12 years old a few written on 63 Fleer cards. They may have been 100 years old. I would meet regularly with Jack for the next 15 years until he passed. He was a wealth of knowledge and really taught me what little I know.

Also, I will add like many here, Leon and net54. Like most I left the hobby in 1991...and came back around 2012ish...found this place, and it's truly been an inspiration and has driven how I focus my collection. So many great people here, so willing to share...love it. Thanks all, Merry Christmas!!!
