I grew up in the advertising business, and I grew up loving baseball,
most notably the Yankees.
In 1975 I attended my first baseball card show in the basement of
a NYC Church...there I saw wonderful examples of advertising
signs and early posters promoting the sport I loved.
I began by collecting rare type cards in top condition. My first
year collecting I owned a Four Base Hit and a Just So which
I still have today. I worked for years to obtain the largest collection
of Boston Garters---and have countless adveritising signs--- it
was the idea of somebody's hero promoting America's game
which attracted me then, and keeps me in it.
I have been so lucky to find so many wonderful pieces which
tell the story of not only America, but America's game.
As DeToiqueville wrote...to know America...you must know baseball
That's why I still collect today..and keep filling in America's Toughest
Want List
