52 years old, 12-26-54, happily married, 4 kids... daughter 35 in greater Chicago getting PT degree, son 32 who manages swine production in several farms for a regional pork producer, twin daughters at home who just got their permits. Wife's a Brit who has taken time to understand and develop a liking to baseball and a tolerance to card collecting (she got me a T206 Young w/o glove for Christmas a few years ago).
Hey Sonny, I soloed on my 16th birthday, got private a year later, haven't flown any since my late 20s. Was a DJ, done all kinds of work, farm work, factory, masonry, steel, paving, newspaper writing, finally got through law school, taught a bit of college, got elected to state court district judge, and that's what I've been doing for 14 years.
When Walter Johnson's portrait T206 arrives from Ted Z in a few days I'll be 8 short of the 520 set. Got about a fourth of the way through T210 when I gave up, sold some so I could focus on series 6. First ML game was 1963, saw Mr. Musial play. Bought first cards in 1964, Topps. Was fascinated about how I could trade them for 1962 and 1963s with some friends. Discovered Bowmans in the mid 70s. Got my first T cards about 1985ish. Held a Wagner in my bare hand about 12 years ago, it was not slabbed.
