What is the story behind your moniker/avatar?

Mine is from a billboard right down the street from me. Factoryville, Pa. Matty's hometown!

Mine are my two prized possessions, a 52 Topps Mantle and Mays.

I inherited these cards from my Father 20+ years ago, and although I have deviated from solely collecting them, I am slowly but surely added to the collection as I go.

[almostdone]

I was putting together a HOFer collection that was nearing the end if completion when I stumbled across Net54. At that time I only needed a Honus Wagner. When I went to sign up it asked for a user name. Normally I would have used my eBay name of 1117drewbay but I was so happy of how close I was to finishing I just wrote almostdone instead.
My avatar is a display case I made that is housing different cards that my wife has purchased for me over the years.

Thanks Raymond! I love the Sidd Finch reference. I remember reading the SI article as a kid thinking WOW!! Then the old April fools thing....

I enjoy meeting the people who notice it & get in touch. Still owe a few folks further details...

My moniker is my name because I have little imagination.

My avatar is the centerpiece of my collection.

[quinnsryche]

Mine is a play on my name and the greatest piece of recorded music of all time Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime (my opinion and I actually mean it). Fits perfectly with the name, attitude and the time I "grew up". My wife would disagree as I will be 50 in 2 weeks and still am a 100% metalhead and card carrying (as well as collecting) dufus (ask my 16 yr. old son). I am always surprised to hear from so may others who message me about seeing metal bands back in the day and collect sports stuff today.

Keep on rockin' (with Dokken)!
Yeah, I said it.

[Jantz]

Well long story short, my moniker is my moniker. My real name is Jantz.

I've never been to an amusement park or truck stop and been able to find a key chain or a shot glass with my name on it. Recently I asked Coca Cola to put my name on a pop can, but haven't received a reply back yet. Probably won't happen since there are only three Jantzs in the world.

My avatar is of a postcard of the Polar Bear tobacco factory that was located here in Ohio.
