Introduction

[thisisradioclash]

Hello everyone! My name is Nick, and I'm newly-approved to join the board. I'm a Naval officer stationed in Hawaii, which as you might imagine, is not exactly the best place to stumble across prewar cards (though I did see an Old Judge card of a boxer at a flea market once). I'm originally from DC and have moved around quite a bit as you all might imagine, being in the service.

I'm not nearly as accomplished a pre-war collector as probably everyone else on the board, but I love reading and learning on the boards. I've developed a shine to the T213 Type 2 set (the Coupon cigarettes "Made in New Orleans" set), and I'm thinking about unloading most of my post-'60s cards to work on that in the future. I particularly like the Walter Johnson from that set, as it reminds me of DC, my home, and New Orleans, where I met my girlfriend/partner!

Figured I would say hello to everyone so when I start posting, it's not completely out of left field. See you all on the boards!

Go Army! Beat Navy!
Welcome to the boards. You won't find a better group.

I was stationed in Hawaii from 2005-2009...unbelievable duty assignment. But sadly you're right, tough on the collection.

Nick welcome aboard!
Hawaii is a great place to be stationed, my boy while a Marine was stationed there in between his stops in Afghanistan.
Thank You for your service.
