Allow me to introduce myself!

Hey all!

Well, I've already made a post, but figured I'd swing in and at least say hi and introduce myself!

My name is Justin. I'm based out of Traverse City, Michigan. I collected HOF baseball cards for roughly 15 years, until I got married, and the wife twisted my arm to sell them. It was the biggest mistake of my life (selling or getting married? You be the judge lol).

Freshly divorced (did you see that coming?), and I'm starting to get into collecting again.

However, my last collection was just like me...all over the place! People on other forums said I had one of the more diverse collections across the 4 major sports...but I don't know if that's a complement!

So I've decided to focus myself down a bit!

My focus right now (as long as random 1800s reprints don't take all my money) is to obtain a RC, auto, and relic of every HOF player. I'm focusing on baseball for now, but will eventually branch out to basketball and football too (sorry hockey, you have to wait!).

Obviously, that's going to be a bear, but what a better thing to keep my neurospicy brain occupied than an impossible challenge!

On top of the HOF collection, I am also attempting to collect Everett Scott (he's from my hometown), and Donie Bush (from my home state). For both players I want to track down as much of their card library as I can, as well as a signature (sigh...why theres next to no Scott autographs is beyond me lol) Because why focus on one difficult challenge when you can have 3!

I am eager to learn and work with you all. My preference has always been for pre-war cards, and now that I'm divorced and out of college I finally have the disposable income to start making that happens!

Who needs friends...or family...when you can have cardboard that can't leave?! lol

In all seriousness, glad to be here, thanks so much for letting me join!
