Cool thread. I'm 37, married, National Sales for Blue Cross Blue Shield. Started collecting when I was younger, quit when I went to college, played baseball in college, hit a HR off a future HOF(?), hit a HR in my last college AB, came within one game of going to the 64 team tourney (twice), cried like a baby (twice). I now play ultra-competitive softball and won my first World Series this year in Oct. in the elite division. I'm also an avid poker player at my local casino and a semi-professional gambler (I only lost 3x during the entire baseball season, and have yet to have a losing week in college/pro football this year since Labor Day (I'm sure I completely just mushed myself!) and have been banned by 2 bookies: a badge of honor to me, haha).
Started collecting again in about 2003 while looking thru old cards that I had and came across a George Mullen portrait that I bought when I was 12. I now collect T206s, T206 autographs, T206 player bats (i have 8: Dolly Stark, Roy Brashear, Pat Moran, Harry Davis, Fred Snodgrass, George Stone, Gavy Cravath, Art Fletcher), and old stadium seats (i have 3: Forbes Field, Shibe Park, Ebbets Field). I need about 50 more T206's to complete my set. The end. Last edited by Bpm0014; 11-27-2013 at 07:55 AM. |

I'm 53 and practicing veterinary medicine after being disabled for 3 years by a spinal cord stroke. I collect W572 strip cards and E121 Yankees and Giants along with cards of Elmer Miller who was my great great uncle who played for the Yankees in 1921 and 1922. he was literally the first Yankee to get a hit in a World Series and was the first Yankee to score a run in a World Series.
