Saying hello for the first time!

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to join NET54 and hopefully contribute from time to time on these threads. My first pack of baseball cards was a 1986 Fleer pack. When I didn't get a KC Royal, my grandmother sent me back to the convenience store (3 blocks away) to buy more. That didn't work, so she sent me back again. Well third time was a charm and we pulled Royals DH Jorge Orta!!

Pretty much a collector ever since!

Thanks,
I know these threads are more fun with pictures so I will try to figure that part out! Maybe I can lead off with a single.

That T206 Abbaticchio is a LONG way from 1986 Fleer (and in my wheelhouse - working on an extensive Pirates card collection)! What do you collect?

My main focus is the T206 set. Trying to do it all in PSA slabs (1, 2, 3s and a few 4s), but I have 30 cards raw that will get graded one day.

In keeping with the T206 theme, I like to collect the modern Topps 206 Mini Cards as well. I will post some pictures soon. Also eTopps 206 and the Historic Autograph T206s slabbed cards.

I also like chasing the Top 250 Sports Cards (as per the PSA registry list).

Every now and then, a 2013 Upper Deck Kansas Jayhawks Autograph card pops up that I don't have (I'm at 48 of 62).

Finally, I collect Stadium Give Away (SGA) Kansas City Royals Bobbleheads (40 of 69). I'm curious what will happen to the bobbles that were planned to be given away at stadiums this year if the season never happens?
