Hey Rich , I grew up in saddlebrook NJ . I had a lot of friends that collected cards
. While I liked to look at them and thought they were interesting. That did not drive me to collect instead around 1992 my uncle and his adult friends started collecting . They would trade stories of what they had and what they were after.
One day my uncle gave me a few of his duplicates. I liked them and decided I would buy a few packs of my own to show them what I got.

After about a year or so ( not sure how long exactly) I found a card show at the Garfield Boys and girls club on midland ave. I collect because of this show . I could go to the show buy, sell, trade, win cards ! I loved it . I still attend this show often but now with my 4 year old son .
