[swarmee]

Hello.
I'm John Rafferty from the Florida Panhandle. I went to Georgia Tech (hence the swarmee moniker) and collect Yellow Jacket memorabilia, as well as tobacco cards, sports cards, uniforms, ceramics, and I'm working on an entire set of Georgia Tech yearbooks from 1908-2014. I have about 80 so far out of that group, with about 25 duplicates to sell/trade to get the rest. I also moderate the "Georgia Tech Antique Collectors" group on Facebook.

My favorite items in my collection are hand-made cards of members of the 1942 team, including WWII hero Clint Castleberry, who is the only football player ever to have his jersey retired at Tech. I've got over 50 different GT postcards, including printed photo cards (not RPPC) of the 1915 and 1917 football teams.

Aside from GT, I'm collecting the Emblem Series T56 tobacco cards (fraternal orders) and Earl Christy postcards.
