Default personal collecting questions

Posted By: Anonymous

1. What is your focus today, in collecting?
Completing the 1951-1954 Topps and Bowman sets my Dad collected as a kid. Trying to complete th '53 sets first.

2. What are the 3 cards you need most?
1. 1953 Mays
2. 1953 Bowman Color Mantle
3. T202 Wood/Speaker - I've been fascinated by this set and these two players since I was a kid. Every time I see the card, I want to own it.

3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your needs?
I like a combination, but I find buying online easier than trading.

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

5. What is your absolute favorite series, why?
1953 Bowman Color. In my opinion, the best post-WWII set hands down. Beautiful, unadulterated portrait and action photos. They make the players

6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...?
I enjoy in-person auctions the most, but probably buy more on eBay than anyplace. Local shows can be kind of depressing, but looking forward to getting back The National next year.

7. What do you do for a living, how old are you and where do you live
Internet Project Manager, New York City, 39 Years Old
