Baseball been berry, berry good to me. I was lucky to pick up a nice collection of cards back in the days when the hobby was relatively affordable. There are a few cards I regret not to have jumped on when I could but I can't complain. The past three years have been hellish for me. Have been my poor wife's caregiver whilst the pandemic raged. It has taken quite a toll on my health and my disposition. Our collecting community, the friendships, the cards, the general hobby brouhaha, have been an anchor. My greatest hobby wish would be to attend another National so as to shake the hands of my baseball buddies one more time. Not viable this summer but maybe someday.

David, I love your personal Net54 photo; it is priceless. A la....my moniker wears a monocle! All the best to you, sir. --- Brian Powell

Will I have to wait another 36 years for my Bo Jackson rookie cards to peak in value?

Finding an unopened 1986 Fleer Basketball wax box. One of my biggest regrets is not purchasing the box or set when it was available for $8.00 back in the day. I love the set reminds me younger days and of course has some good rookies.. LOL..

I love the E135 Collins McCarthy set, and I have been accumulating lots of great players, but I have not picked up the very biggest figures in the set. I would very much like to get a few of them.

I would say a low grade 1952 Mantle and a game used ball thrown by Madison Bumgarner in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series.
