Hello I'm Darren, I'm the chief medical officer of a large privately owned company. I live in Cut Off, Louisiana and have a wonderful wife and 2 children.
Have been collecting cards ever since my dad brought down a paper bag full of 50's stuff from grandma's attack. My two brothers and I spent that rainy Louisiana afternoon divying (sp?) up the loot. Worked out pretty well as I was an Aaron fan, my older brother a Mantle fan, and my younger brother a Banks fan. That was 1975 and I was 5 years old. That same lot today would be worth about 50K, unless of course some of them would have graded 8 or higher.
I collect just about any card that strikes my fancy, all sports and many nonsports, all years, just about everything. I've completed sets from every decade of the 20th century and tamed the Monster.
I've recently taken a liking to the modern autograph patch cards put out by Exquisite and Sp Authentic--some of those cards are absolutely gorgeous and have an authentic autograph to boot.
Go Saints!!!
