New member intro

[Buddygcpa]

I am a new member and wanted to offer a brief introduction. My name is Buddy Givens and I live in Texas north of Dallas. I am a retired CPA. I have been collecting since 1955 and my favorite set is the 1953 Bowman color. I have become interested in pre-war cards recently and know I need to learn a lot more, thus joining this forum. The information I've seen so far has been great. I have a small number of T-206 and some Play Ball and Goudey.

Buddy, 1953 Color Bowmans are great! Try a few OJs. Be careful and watch out or you could get hooked on the stuff.
