Cool thread. I'm 37, married, National Sales for Blue Cross Blue Shield. Started collecting when I was younger, quit when I went to college, played baseball in college, hit a HR off a future HOF(?), hit a HR in my last college AB, came within one game of going to the 64 team tourney (twice), cried like a baby (twice). I now play ultra-competitive softball and won my first World Series this year in Oct. in the elite division. I'm also an avid poker player at my local casino and a semi-professional gambler (I only lost 3x during the entire baseball season, and have yet to have a losing week in college/pro football this year since Labor Day (I'm sure I completely just mushed myself!) and have been banned by 2 bookies: a badge of honor to me, haha).
Started collecting again in about 2003 while looking thru old cards that I had and came across a George Mullen portrait that I bought when I was 12. I now collect T206s, T206 autographs, T206 player bats (i have 8: Dolly Stark, Roy Brashear, Pat Moran, Harry Davis, Fred Snodgrass, George Stone, Gavy Cravath, Art Fletcher), and old stadium seats (i have 3: Forbes Field, Shibe Park, Ebbets Field). I need about 50 more T206's to complete my set.
The end.
