Well, I waited long enough...

[OTWCards]

I lurked and lingered for nearly 4 years and haven't been an overly active poster. However, since I recently got punted across the street for a "pissing contest" comment, I'll probably become more active here. I promise to be less of a pest while here (I had a few targets at CU that were the primary complainers that lead to my demise -- I see that they came here and didn't linger too long as their schtick quickly wore thin).

A few of the members here already know me, but If I tick anyone off, just drop me a PM and voice your concern. I'm actually pretty reasonable although I tend to be opinionated and sarcastic. Regardless, I rarely mean any harm and sometimes an inside joke may appear a little more harsh than it really is.

I've collected a wide array of things over more than 40 years of collecting and my primary focus now is vintage football (N302, cabinets, wire photos and unopened) and some eclectic baseball and hockey items that I either find intriguing or think have some long term upside.

I attend the National annually and spend virtually the entire week walking the floor buying for my employer and a few things on my "list."

While I'm not part of the T206 club, I've always loved and appreciated the issue and enjoy learning more about it from the postings here.

A bit of my history includes having been a Senior grader for SGC (1998-2000), being responsible for the M116 Philly Find in 2002, building the #1 1948 Leaf Football Master Set (on the PSA Registry) and way too frequently being the under-bidder on many auction items that I've wanted over the years.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to being a more active poster and contributor to the site and if anyone ever has any questions or issues, my PM is always open!
