I listened to the monster pod cast episode #3 and learned so much about the chronology of T-cards from 1887-T206 it was just awesome.

Let's post some cool cards and have fun.

Thanks.

Tim, I am so glad that you enjoyed the podcast. It's really cool knowing that something Justin and I are doing for fun is having a positive impact! Definitely motivation to do more episodes more often.

I had a huge year collecting for my personal collection, and here are a few things I added. All motivated by 3 projects: pursuit of the monster (complete), my Walter Johnson back run, and Cobbs with rare backs (neither will ever be complete haha).

There are many sides to the hobby, many scammers and charlatans, and many agendas. The great thing about this board is that while it has a lot of positivity about collecting, it doesn't shy away from the unsavory aspects of the hobby. If anything I wish there was more open discussion of the fraudsters. I've occasionally bought some fake stuff in recent years and learned the hard way.
Let's face it, for those dropping thousands on pieces of cardboard, this is not the collecting you did when you were 10 years old riding a bike down the street whistling with cards clipped to the spokes. I welcome all discussions, positive and negative. Short of unfair character assassination of course.
