Ed McCollum1. What is your focus today, in collecting? t206s with a rubber stamp on the back from Howe McCormick
2. What are the 3 cards you need most? A Killian/pitching/Hindu; a Burch/batting/Hindu and two Lundgren/Chicago/Piedmont 150s. (O.K., thats four cards, but only three poses)
3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your needs? I find it easier to buy, although I am searching for several cards to use as trade for those already owned by someone else with the mark (see question two).
4. Has the economy forced you to sell things you wouldn't have otherwise? I haven't had to sell anything yet, because I really don't have anything to sell. But I have had to basically stop buying, at least for the time being, as too many cards were coming up on eBay and I have commitments to buy too many right now.
5. What is your absolute favorite card, why? This was part of a collection that recently made itself available to me. I've seen over 200 of Howe's cards, and own around 130, but this is the only one I've ever seen that uses his first name (Ulric), lists the same address, but acknowledges him as an agent for the Saturday Evening Post. I was really excited to find, and purchase this one.
6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...? For the most part, they come from eBay, but with a lot of help from members of the Network 54 board, who keep an eye out for them and let me know if they see one.
7. What do you do for a living, how old are you and where do you live? I'm 46 years old, live in Omaha, NE and am the creative director for a non-profit that provides services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 14 states.
