Michael C1. What is your focus today, in collecting?
Mainly t205s, as I am working on the set. I also am always looking for nice M101-2 Sporting News Supplements.
2. What are the 3 cards you need most?
I have a bunch of cards I need, but I'm always looking for nice t205s in Vg-VG/Ex condition. I really would like to add one of the bigger HOFers like Joss, Johnson or Cobb soon. I just need to find a good deal on one that I can afford.
3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your needs?
I like to trade, but don't have a lot of dupes or things that attract a lot of trades. I do have a bunch of 20s HOF Exhibits (http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu156/Mrc_32/?albumview=grid) that I would be willing to part with to pick up a HOFer or a group.
4. Has the economy forced you to sell things you wouldn't have otherwise?
Not yet, though I have sold things I didn't really want. I have just plowed the money back into my collection. My cards have held value better than my IRA!
5. What is your absolute favorite series, why?
I love the T-205s. I like cards that show me history, that is why I am so drawn to prewar.
6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...?
Mainly eBay, but have done 2-3 deals in the last couple of months on Net 54 BST. All have gone perfect! My most recent one was with Barry. Went perfect.
