RichardI was/am still a member at the CU forum, although I haven't posted in quite a while. I just happened across this forum on accident, and boy am I glad I did. I am first and foremost a football collector, with an emphasis on Rams items. I have been simultaneously building every major football set from 1948-1995, mostly ungraded, which is how I've been collecting since the late 60's. I always was a baseball fan, but got fed up with all the strikes and high prices of cards, and so I switched to football about 15 years ago.
Along with the card sets, I also enjoy looking for anything that is of a vintage nature such as programs, publications, college yearbooks or anything that strikes my fancy.
I rarely go to large sports card shows to look for items. I prefer scouring antique stores, flea markets, and swap meets, "hunting" by luck.
I will be keeping an eye on this forum and hopefully be able to contribute at times.
