Want to introduce myself to everyone. A few may know me from another site. Name is Mike and I've been collecting vintage Phillies for about 6 months although I've been in the hobby since the late 70's. Wish I still had those cards. Switched to vintage because I was tired of spending big money to complete mid-range current sets. All the autos, GU, and SPs were killing me and the quality is getting worse.

Mostly buying graded cards because I'm terrible at buying raw cards. Can't tell the difference between nm-mt and nm and can't tell if a card has been altered in any way. Have around 100 vintage Phiilies cards mostly from the 50's. Also have a HOF graded RC collection as a side project. Have around 15 of those with my oldest being a 1960 PSA 5 Yaz.

I was referred to this site by a member who is also on the other site. Said I can get some helpfull info here. I have very limited resources as far as shows and LCS's go so I rely a lot on the Bay for my cards and sites like this for advice.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to spending a lot of time here.

Mike
