Joe DrouillardHello Everyone,
My name is Joe Drouillard. I'm 55, happily maried with three grown sons. I'm a high school teacher and baseball fan. Teaching is a second career, I've only been working with young people for the last eight years, but it keeps me young. Collecting baseball cards for a hobby keeps me sane.
I got started in collecting old cards a couple of years ago. Started with 1961 Topps, sort of reliving my childhood collection, but lately have been focusing on prewar, mostly T-206's but also some Obaks and Cracker Jacks--whatever looks like a good buy on ebay. I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I have to buy and sell on ebay to fund my collecting. But my collection is building quickly and I figure I will be able to suppliment my income by selling off the collection sometime after I retire. That is if I can bear giving up the little rascals.
I've really enjoyed lurking on 54 and every once in awhile posting a question. I've learned so much in the last six months reading your posts. It has made my collecting experience a real joy.
Best wishes,
Joe
