The New Guy...

[FUBAR]

Todd, i am in the same boat as you, not alot of funds right now.. currently unemployed. I want to get back into real collecting soon.

I recently found out alot of my collection was stolen by an ex with a drug problem. I didnt even know she did drugs, thats how good her cover was. I only had a few t206 and t205's, but it hurts none the less. Any card i had from before 1986, with a value more then 20$ disappeared. I didnt notice for over a year. They were tucked away in a box as far as i knew. The only thing she didnt steal was my Peyton Manning collection as she knew that i looked at those monthly! I no longer have a single Gretzky, Lemieux, Roy, Howe, Orr, Dryden etc.... oo the names i have called her,, mostly it starts with C and rhymes with hunt!

I found this website when i was checking to see about fake cards to see if my Clemens was real. It looks awfully fuzzy. Then i found the story about the guy in California whochanges the psa cards and inserts fake ones into the slabs. Apparently he was doing this back in 2006. looked around Craigslist and he is still doing it even today. Crazy someone has given this guy a big momma beat down or he hasnt been arrested for fraud.

After browsing the website, i was hooked. I felt like a kid again looking at all the treasures on here and dreaming! Sure wish that Joe Jackson story happened to me. However, as thrifty as i am, i would have asked for a better price then the 20$... lol

anyways, My name is Jim and i hail from Vancouver, grew up in Edmonton most of my life and watched my beloved Oilers and the Great One win 3 Stanley cups live in person!

Peace !
