Kevin Cummings1. What is your focus today, in collecting?
Almost exclusively N172 Old Judge, but will occasionally stray to other 19th century items.
2. What are the 3 cards you need most?
My current want list is at 28 players, but if someone held a gun to my head, the top 3 would probably be Ed Williamson & mascot, Charles Alcott - Mansfield and Jim Tyng.
3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your needs?
Almost exclusively buy. Unless I have upgraded a current item, I don't have any spares to trade.
4. Has the economy forced you to sell things you wouldn't have otherwise?
Not yet, but those Johns Hopkins bills are a real drag!
5. What is your absolute favorite series, why?
The aforementioned N172. It's the pictures. It brings the 19th century game to life for me.
6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...?
If I can pick up any item off my want list, I'm not picky about where.
7. What do you do for a living, how old are you and where do you live?
Work in a Customer Service capacity for a large educational publisher; soon to be 58; Closter, NJ.
