Hello everyone, my name is Deron and I finally decided to register for the site after being a lurker here for over a year or so. I read the message boards daily just to soak up the knowledge everyone here has. Anyways, I am an avid collector of anything I can afford that's pre-war (I have a small T206 collection) up to 1960s cards (1965 Topps is my favorite set). My biggest concentration is anything vintage Braves, especially Hank Aaron. I recently completed my Aaron Topps base run, all SGC graded. My prized piece is, of course, his rookie card that I have graded in an SGC 40 / 3. It wasn't for the watermark on the back, it'd be graded much higher. Anyways, I look forward to being involved here and thanks for having me!

Another hearty welcome! You'll find a tremendous amount of knowledge here, which it sounds like you already realize, as well as some entertaining controversy from time to time.

Best wishes on your collecting,

Larry

Small world, I am a police officer in Stony Creek. I figured you had ties to that area since you are a Carl Furillo fan. I have a small collection of Furillo myself.

If you like Furillo then Steve is your guy. Welcome to the boards!
