Shawn AdkinsCollecting for me is centered around the thrill of the chase, meeting fellow collectors and digging up the history behind the cards/players depicted. More than just holding the cards, I like to really get to know the background and history of what I chase. In the end, the actual cards themselves are a byproduct of the other two.
Call me weird, but there is just something about searching through tons of cards with the hopes of finding something that may be different from what we already know. Variation cards of all brands and years has been a thorn in my side since I first started collecting in 1980. Rarely do I find someone who shares my obsession with detail in this area but it sure is fun to me.
