Hello Everyone,
Greg Theberge from Rhode Island here. 45 year old Periodontist, happily married for the past 14 years to my beautiful wife Karen, and proud dad to our daughter, Kaitlyn, who was born in Korea. Avid, rabid, BoSox fan (as is my wife) who made a deal with the devil two years ago and still can't believe we saw our team go all the way that year. Theoretically I'm supposed to be happy with that one win for the rest of my life....

I primarily collect pre-1920 memorabilia from the Red Sox when it can be found for a reasonable (??) price (although we do have a base from game two of the '04 Series as a momento of times spent that year).
Although I tend to have a preference for larger items that display well such as programs, pennants and pins of all sorts, I tend to pick up cards every now and then when they are affordable. I greatly enjoy reading the posts on this forum and wish I had more knowledge on the hobby so I could contribute more.

Became interested in pre-war basebell as an offshoot to a hobby that I have shared with my dad for the past thirty years - collecting pre-prohibition (i.e. 1920, the year that booze became illegal and the Babe went to NY - to a brewer no less) brewery memorabilia from the state of Rhode Island (some of which is baseball and Red Sox related). Most of our collection is composed of one of a kind examples. Other hobbies include researching and reenacting the American Revolution, a hobby that I've slowed down in since becoming old and lazy.
Thanks! Great thread.
