Hey any super collector out there ?

[jimtigers65]

Detroit Tiger collector.
Complete Tiger team sets from 1953 Topps to current
1952 Topps Tiger team set almost complete. I need two high numbers; Frank House and Fred Hatfield.
Complete 1949-55 Bowman Tiger team sets
I'm almost up to 1000 Tiger autographs (currently at 983)
Starting to get into Goudey's, Playballs, Diamond Stars, T-206s, etc.

I would like to add onto 1962 Ford Motor Company Detroit Tiger postcards.

I collect vintage pre 70's with a few items after 1970 of Ernie Banks. Great Guy, played way before my time but highly admire(d) him growing up as Die hard Cubs Fan! Gotta love this hero of mine.

Been at it for 36 years, and in the middle i needed some money and sold off maybe 1/3 of it including some real good cards then had to re-buy everything when things smoothed out for me. Its been a long haul though, a collection like this does not happen overnite unless you are rich, which i am not (unfortunetely lol). Note that on the real expensive cards I have been willing to take low condition as i feel its better to have a card than not have a card because you cant afford it in nice condition.
