The Griffey Jr RC was always out of reach for me. During the time it was at its peak, was when I was just a kid. I used to love looking at the monthly Beckett and see its picture on top of the card hot list. Griffey Jr was just an awesome player anyway.
As for Piazza, my first glove was a Mike Piazza's name-inscribed catcher's mit from Rawlings. I cherished that thing with my life. I still have it put away in the closet and it is the only glove I have kept over the years. I played catcher and always wanted to be like Piazza.
As for collecting, I am done with the "new" stuff for now. It just doesn't have the same meaning for me anymore like it used to. It really has no history or story behind it like vintage does. The T206 will be a journey and an addiction I am sure. I just know to prepare for the long and windy journey ahead of me.
Thank you for your awesome welcome and hospitality Johnny. I will be sure to get a hold of you soon sir!
