Wyoming Hello!

[LKeeler]

Thanks guys. I am a distant relative to the great Willie "hit em where they ain't" Keeler. That makes collecting them pretty special. Adrian, yep have grown up reading books about Gehrig, Aaron, Ryan, Satchell, Jackie, The Splended Splinter, and Cobb, just to name a few. Books and a trip to Cooperstown definitely helps with learning the story behind the faces on the cardboard.

Seems like the 350's are somewhat more difficult to find than the 150's.

Thanks Bill. I will have to start a Keeler thread with my cards and hopefully get a few board members to post theirs as well.

Howdy Luke,

I'm a fellow Wyomingite - grew up in Thermopolis, went to UW in Laramie, and taught school in Guernsey. Then I left for AZ for a year, then on to Dallas for the last 16 years, where I have worked for Beckett Grading Services. What town/area are you from?

I've been trying to branch out my pre-war collection beyond Gehrig and Ruth, and an starting to gather a decent amount of T206 and other brands/sets of HOFer cards, especially Walter Johnson. I figured I needed a pitcher to collect, too, and he wasn't too shabby!

Welcome,
Mark Anderson

Ha! Never mind my question - I've never once noticed that the area we are from is listed on the message, so I just saw you are from Casper. I have 3 best friends since middle school who are still my best buds (and all of them were into cards at one point). Funny enough, besides one being in Thermopolis still, the other two are moving to Casper this month. One just finished Residency here in Texas and now is a doctor at a medical clinic in Casper. The other one was just governor-appointed to District Judge in Casper this month!

Hi Mark. Small world! I was born in Thermop. My dad worked for the USGS in Worland through the 70s while mom was teaching at Lucerne and Thermopolis. We then moved to Newcastle. Gehrig is my all time favorite.

Wow! Very small world. I never meet people from Thermopolis, especially collectors. Yep, I went to Lucerne through grade 6. Gehrig is also my all time favorite. Hard to collect him on no budget, but I can often trade other stuff and eventually get a card or other ephemera of him every month or so.
