[3finger1908]

Hello all, I'm new member on the forum. I've been collecting since my first pack in 1984. My grandfather got me Topps complete sets for my birthday starting in 1985. By 1986 I was a young subscriber to SCD, interested in pre-war.

I'm a Cubs fan with a healthy distaste for the White Sox. As a kid, every time we drove past Comiskey Park, I'd turn my head away and cover my eyes! My dad and grandfather, both born in Brooklyn, were Dodger fans and Yankee haters, which no doubt tainted my view of the Sox.

My collection focuses on the 1907 & 1908 Cubs teams and the Black Sox. I collect them exclusively in Chicago uniforms.

Here are some type 1s I snapped in 2016.

I look forward to learning more from all of you.

Jeff
