Welcome aboard "Member"...I recommend adding your name to make the xp more fun!

I'm 36 and also live in MA. I went to Georgetown and was on the swim team (hence my name of h2o + Hoya). I bet you could guess my birthday! Moved to MA after college for a girl...6 or so girlfriends later, I finally landed one that stuck (mostly b/c she is okay w/ my hobby interests). We've been married about 5 years and now have a 7-1/2 month old son.

I love numbers and spent many a day/night looking at stats on the back of my '86 Topps cards growing up in Houston, TX. I never cared for older stuff much because no one I knew was into baseball card collecting. Then, around 2002, I was poking around eBay and found some cards...decided to collect all the guys in the 3,000 hit club. To finish, I needed a Cap Anson card, and the rest is history...

Changed my focus to HoF rookie collecting (the real "monster") starting in 2003...took a few years off, but I've been bitten by the bug again and now I can't stop. 2013 has been a HUGE year for me...hope to slow down a bit in 2014 and trim down some of my collection (Mostly trying to prevent being on the "Hoarders" show).

Looking forward to learning more about other Net54 regulars!!
