Thank You for the support!

A couple of years back I got the wild hair to start researching the 1949 Leaf baseball set. I got some of my best info from TedZ and members on this board, let's be honest, Ted took me to school more times than once on the board and through a ton of emails that happened behind the scenes. As the research came together and I started sprinkling my knowledge from the fine art and design side. Once again I got a wild hair and wrote a book about the set, the company and the cards. Steve B, Nathaniel G and others once again were HUGE resources in pulling these crazy ideas together.

I launched re:LEAF (reLEAFbook.com) in may of 2024, not expecting to set the world on fire, but to simply chronicle my findings and the story of a kid growing up as a collector in a small town in Central New York, and how this hobby, this set, created connections to people I would never have known as well as ties to my friends and family that are truly priceless.

As of today, I sold my 300th book, I have spoke with a ton of collectors and have been lucky enough to appear on podcasts, quoted in articles, and chimed in on radio shows to talk about the journey, which continues to this day. I wanted to take a minute and say thank you to the people on this board for being a landing zone for crazy ideas, open discussions and good ole' fashioned hobby talk. I contribute from time to time, but love having a place to turn to when the hobby throws a curveball.

You all are the best, thank you again.
