O/T: New to net54 and Pre-War Vintage

[Anthony K.]

Not sure if this is ok to post, so if it isn't, feel free to delete.

Just wanted to introduce myself to the boards, as I hope to be a regular commenter and poster over here.

My name is Anthony K. and I am a newbie to the world of pre-WWII vintage. I have always been enamored by old Goudey, T206's and tobacco cards, but for some reason never had that much of an interest in them, until recently.

I am reading a book about "The Card" or "The Holy Grail" as some call it. Obviously, the book is about the PSA 8 T206 Honus Wagner. And, in the book, it mentioned these very message boards. The more I have read about it, the more intrigued I have been about vintage cards. Plus, a buddy of mine on another board has an AMAZING vintage collection that I drool over regularly.

So, no I have decided to hop into the shallow end of the vintage collector's pool (until I know more about the cards and have a little more cash flow).

A little more information about myself: Grew up in Texas, currently stationed in Germany serving my country in the Army. I am married with one son and I am a HUGE Houston Astros fan. I primarily collect 7 different players, but have slowly been branching into rookies pre-1985 and HOF game used.

I look forward to being on the boards and hope to learn quite a bit about vintage cards from the boards.
