I was born and have lived most of my life in England and followed football, cricket, rugby (both codes), etc growing up.

I've always loved all sports but particularly those with bats and balls - cricket and later on baseball thanks to television coverage and then the internet. Plus, I have always been a collector since childhood - comics, badges, lego, Star Wars figures, anything.....Probably drove my parents crazy at times!

I looked into collecting cricket memorabilia but its not that large or diverse a market. But I have been aware that there is a massive collecting base tied to baseball and really explored baseball cards thanks to ebay about two and a half years ago. I kind of jumped in like a headless chicken and was buying anything and everything without really thinking about what I was doing.

Now I'm a little more focused and collect a few sets including the t206 which have looks and history as key points of attraction!

Thanks for the kind words about the site!!
