My name is Paul Holstein. I am 40 years old, am married to Robyn, who is mildly supportive of my addiction and I have two children - Paulie (2 years 5 months) and Casey (she is 11 months old).

I have collected cards on and off since I was 9 years old. However, Leon is personally responsible for my interest in vintage cards. About five years ago, I found Leon's website on the internet and called him up to purchase a card. He was incredibly helpful, spoke to me on the telephone for a long time, and directed me to some great resources. He told me about this board and the rest is history.

I have been an attorney for about 16 years and am currently general counsel for a federal agency.

I collect mostly Ed Reulbach cards (I have most except for a Helmar Stamp, Plow Boy Tobacco, T215, Rose Company Postcard, and a Piedmont Art stamp), Chicago Cub postcards, and deadball era postcards.

I have done deals with many of the board members, but I only post a couple times a month. I hope I can meet some of you in the future.
