I moved this thread to the front page to get some more views as it's an interesting topic for everyone. My avatar changes over time and is solely cards I like. No rhyme or reason.

My avitar is actually my great great uncle Elmer Miller. Played for the 1921 Yankees and was the first yankee to ever get a hit in a World Series and he later scored that inning becoming the first Yankee to ever score a run in a World Series. This lead to my E 121 yankees and giants collection
As to the name, at Cubs camp, they started calling me Kenny Mac or shortened to Kmac and the 32 was my jersey number which was the same as Rich Nye's jersey number who was a left handed pitcher for the 1969 Cubs who later went on to become a veterinarian. I am a veterinarinan, left handed, and went on to become a catcher. Kind of Rich Nye in reverse.

Re : Avatar
Great idea for a thread !
Mine is a RPPC someone made from a Billy Sunday Cabinet card . I am not really sure of the age but it combines the two things I really like . The 1880's baseball players and Postcards .

Great story '71 Buc. My favorite vintage/past player to collect as a kid was Roberto Clemente. I'm not old enough to have seen them play, but those Pirates teams ('79 too) seem like they really appealing and easy to root for.
My username is pretty self explanatory (initials and last name). My avatar is photo I took 7-8 years ago of my safe deposit box (visible- a couple Goudey Ruths, '54 Aaron, Cobb bat off, '53 Mantle, etc). At that time my collection was 99% raw and everything fit pretty easily in top loaders. My pick ups since then have been been about 80-90% graded, so I've had to do a lot of swapping within that box. Also have now have many cards locked away elsewhere in a couple safe places.

Pretty straight forward - the cards are the center piece of my collection and 103 is where I watched all of my college games.

My avatar is Jimmy Claxton at Roslyn Ball park ca. 1926-31. Self explanatory.
I have a BA in Religious Studies which is where the username "pariah" derives. My religious studies thesis focused on untouchables in the Hindu faith; the origin, expansion, and institutionalization of the term. Probably where my interest in black baseball history is also rooted.

My avatar is David Clyde from whom sprung the only nickname I ever had as a player...leastwise, the only one that can be said in mixed company (you know, left-handers and you other folks).
Of more interest, my youngest nephew, who is a genius, is making his mark in Industrial Robotics Design...so, we'll all have a REAL one soon.
