JulieBen kept me from feeling so competitive; I don't like that lately, in the chatroom, posting. Always feeling "less than" some other collector, because I have less money to spend. Also, a website makes it so easy to look at scans of your cards, you stop looking at the cards themselves. I still know what to bid on (very much looking forward to my PSA 1 OJ Boston Kelly portrait), but I'll just put it on my website and put it away....and look at the scan once in a while.
Ted Black Sox Fan has given me a lot of help with my website, two board members have asked for my autograph--one for the poem on my website, and one (maybe everyone got the request) because of my collection--boy, is THAT a joke!--I haven't called Mark Macrae lately with one of those questions he always knows the answer to,l nor have I tried to write Joan (is her name even in blue?), and there's a book on early baseball that I ordered and received over two months ago that I haven't read yet. Perhaps it's all because nobody in my family is even slightly interested in baseball cards, and I will have to sell them all fairly soon...
