Hi Guys,

My name is Matt; I'm 36 and have been an avid sportscard collector since boyhood. I first learned of these boards years ago while on the PSA boards, where I use the same handle (MattyC).

My collection focus is now branching into PreWar, and I'm sure this will be a great place to speak to experts and enthusiasts.

Best Regards,

Matt

Thank, guys. My collection focuses on key sportscards, especially RCs of those who have achieved excellence on the field. To date my only Prewar issues are a 1932 US Caramel Ruth and 1933 Goudey Gehrig. I am going to try and keep my prewar additions to lower to mid-grade, so as to add a greater variety of cards and players. The ones I'm looking at first are:

Cracker Jack Cobb
M101-4 Joe Jackson
E95 Wagner
T206 Cobb Bat Off Shoulder & Green Portrait
Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig cards

I hope to be able to keep my cards forever (I'll be happy to be buried with them if my son or daughter doesn't get in to them like I am, lol), so I look for the issues that appeal to me aesthetically and then consider how well they'll hold value, should I ever have to sell.

Cards are a major source of joy, decompression, and mellowing-out for me; I view them as a special combination of art, history, and-- in a sense-- time travel. I love seeing scans of great cards and talking cards with fellow collectors.

Best,

MIC
