Why we love the hobby

[Joshwesley]

As a kid the grail for me was the 90 lead frank Thomas.

Finally got one in about 1994 and paid an arm and a leg for it. Still have it at my home office in a screw down case!

Always wanted the 1991 SP Michael Jordan... never could pull one.
I went through an entire wax box once and struck out

Got out of collecting from 1995-2015 when I stumbled on this site by mistake....

Instantly, I've been hooked...started with pre-war, but I'm getting a GM-10 Sp Jordan from eBay this week! Spent a good $15.00 on it 😂😎

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

My brother was in having his tonsils out in 1981, I bought him 3 rak packs of topps. for the longest time we managed to hold onto a few of the original cards from those packs through assorted purges, moves etc... finally lost the last one a couple moves ago and it breaks my heart.

If you ever find a heavily worn 1981 Topps George Brett with "AP" written on the back in black crayon, I'd probably buy it from you!

I do still have my original "directed" collection. In about 1982 I decided I wanted every Steve Garvey card. Then he went to the Padres, but in that short window I did acquire quite a few for a preteen on a budget.
