I don't have the wherewithal to drop a vast fortune on cards, nor do I attend card shows the way I once did; they are either not happening or I simply can't get to them due to shift and weekend work. I just in the past few days took some of my Christmas gift money (I have lots of sisters and my wife comes from a HUGE family) and bought a couple of lots of 1939 and 1941 Play Ball cards. They are in pretty poor condition, but I love them nevertheless and I didn't have to go to the poor house getting them. I really enjoy looking up the players on all of my cards, and what interesting stories! So I just want to say thanks to the sellers on this net54 B/S/T that I have had the privilege to buy from and trade with, allowing me to have some semblance of a hobby. And thanks to Leon for running the best baseball card collecting presence on the internet!

Hello Jim,
I'm glad to see that you found success through B/S/T. It's great to collect rather than invest, less to worry about and better on the pocketbook.
To continued happy collecting!
