Hi everyone,

My short(ish) story:

I stopped collecting cards in 1985 and started collecting Civil War memorabilia (currency/textiles/buckles/spurs/bullets). Moved on to collecting Timex watches from the 1950s and 1960s and when Covid hit returned to cards.

Bought my dream cards on eBay in March: Topps/Donruss/Fleer Mattingly rookies and then realized that I wasn't dreaming $$$ enough. Picked up cards I could never afford as a kid (1954 Ernie Banks, 1959 Gibson, 1962 Brock, way too many Banks/Mays/Gibson/Brock/Mattingly autos) and then I found s74 silks.

I'm a history major so I'm now focusing on the HoF from the beginning. Bought my first s74 silks on eBay this week and found this site trying to understand more about them.

Looking forward to learning more about the hobby and history from you all!

thanks,
Chris
