Default personal collecting questions

Posted By: Richard Cline - RC

Great topic!

1. What is your focus today, in collecting?
Pretty varied but primarily '33 Goudey's, wide and thin pens, and
most anything with the Reds.

2. What are the 3 cards you need most?
I suppose it would be the '33 Ruth's I don't have and the other '33 Gehrig, I don't even count the Lajoie.

3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your needs?
Mostly buy.

4. Has the economy forced you to sell things you wouldn't have otherwise?
Not yet fortunately.

5. What is your absolute favorite series, why?
'33 Goudey - Because until a few years ago I didn't even realize they existed and then I open an old cigar box and the vintage bug bit!!!

6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...?
I enjoy the BST the most because of the sense of community we have here.

7. What do you do for a living, how old are you and where do you live?
I teach high school (picture "Welcome Back Kotter" if you are old enough) as well as coach basketball and cross country. I'm 51 and live west of Dayton, Ohio. Yes, there are some honest collectors in Ohio.
