Why Baseball??

[bnorth]

Great question. I am probably the strangest collector out there. I only watched baseball for a very short time. I started watching around 1986 when my brother got me interested in baseball and cards. Wade Boggs instantly became my favorite player and then I added Roger Clemens as a player I liked to watch. During their playing careers I went to 100's of games and watched baseball on tv all the time. Since both retired I have only watched 1 game, Jeters last game at Yankee Stadium. I have 0 interest in the game now.

As far as collecting I collect error and oddball cards from the period I watched games and the awesome T210 set. I also just made a deal to get the 59 Fleer Ted Williams set and it is the only set besides the T210 set I have any interest in owning.

I like the hobby now for how great most of the people are. I don't know if I want to call people I have never met in real life friends but I email with several people on a regular basis about nonbaseball stuff that I met from selling, trading, or buying cards from.
