I have been inactive since May, too poor and too busy right now to buy anything. I check in here every few days to see what others are up to. I browse ebay every once in a while for fun. Maybe I'll get a little bit of Christmas money to spend in the New Year. But I'll return to active collecting again at some point.

I haven't collected in years, and have sold off nearly all of my stuff. But I am interested in the history of baseball, as well as the history of the cards and memorabilia. I enjoy discussing hobby topics on this board, but don't really miss having a collection. I just see it as a different stage of my life.

That's about me, in a nutshell. A large part of my law practice had been focused upon premises liability, which our extreme right-wing, conservative Michigan Supreme Court has effectively abolished, leaving my income at less than half what it had been, and my wife, formerly president/CEO of an optical company, has been out of a job for almost three years. I'm presently trying to refocus my law practice on a more lucrative area, believe it will be successful in generating significant revenues and am thus planning my return to collecting (hopefully in the not too distant future). Just like McArthur, I shall return!!!

Best to all,

Larry

I haven't been actively collecting for a number of years. Like others who responded, I continue to use the forum to keep up with the hobby and the guys I knew back in the day.

Nowdays about the only sports memorabilia items I buy are photos for use in making my custom cards.

My principal commercial hobby activity is selling off a basement-full of cards and collectibles accumulated during 25+ years with SCD/Standard Catalog.
