Great photo of you and your Dad. That's what collecting is all about -- sharing it, somehow, with good friends or, even better, family. That's quite the collection!

That is really great that you can collect with your Dad. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome post.

I have a 9 years old son who loves baseball more than I do. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball like crazy too

In past two years, we have been working on 1993 Topps Finest Refractor Set. I know you guys might scream and say, get out of here- haha Its the first refractor set and they are very demand as only 241 cards made each card. There's 199 cards in set and we are at 109 now. I just showed this post to my son and he said, wow 420 T-206 cards! you have 68 T206 Taylor instead. He sure know what I got. I guess he listens really well. I told him that we will do a pre-war set after this. I think I might go for goudey or a set that carries plenty of HOF players.

It's nice to do this with family. I have 1955-1969 Topps Set from my dad's childhood days.

Even though my focus are Deaf Sports History but will always make room for something like this.

Best,
Danny

Hi George,

I remember meeting you and your Dad at the Cleveland National a few years back. In fact, we sat next to each other at the Net54 dinner and we attended an Indians game.

I am glad to see that you and your Dad are still collecting. Hope to catch up with you again one day.

Great story & collection George, sharing it with your Dad is priceless. BTW - I'm in SE Michigan and would definitely be interested in a get together.

Jantz,
I remember clearly talking with you and think of that every time I see your research based posts. Actually I looked through every Polar Bear I have last night looking for the printer line to add to your research, no luck here

.

Howard,
We had a ball at that show, thanks for the reminder. Hope your ebay sales are doing well!

Thanks for all the kind words!

Danny,
You and your son definitely need to meet up with myself and "Little George" along with IowaDoc and his sons at the Chicago national. We had a ball at night trading in the hotel conference room. Thanks for sharing your story!

George, awesome story and collection! Keep up the good work on The Monster and I wish nothing but happy card collecting for you and your father.

Thanks for sharing. I can only hope my son and I will do something like that one day (he's 3).

George, I have to say that this is one of the coolest things I've seen since I've been a member of this forum. There's nothing better than collecting with your dad. And I wish I could get my dad into collecting. When I get my cards in, I show them to him, and he will look at them. But he doesn't exhibit anywhere near the same enthusiasm your father obviously has for the hobby. And I'd give anything to be able to collect with my dad the way you do with yours. You are a lucky man. What an incredible thing to be able to share with him!

Here's hoping the two of you are able to finish off the set. But if you don't, no big deal. Sometimes, the journey is better than arriving at your destination. And in this instance, the journey you and your father have shared is better than completing the set could ever be. Now I have to try another angle.
