Who had a positive impact on your collection ?

It's funny looking back on this thread.

In the time that I last posted, I hadn't had the opportunity to buy from Ted, and I fixed that at the Philly Show. Bought a very nice 1950 Bowman Phil Rizzuto.

Ted's great. Especially in person. Very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, happy to talk cards, great deals, etc. He actually sold me the Hindu back Powers with the purple number back stamp in my avatar many years ago. It's the only Hindu I've ever seen with that stamp by the way. And he gave me a great deal on it.

I would say over the last 20+ years I've been collecting and learning about prewar cards, Ted has been an influence on me as well. Even if he doesn't know me that well.

My parents instilled a love of baseball for me. Growing up, family time consisted of watching the Texas Rangers games while doing any activity. We may not have been fully invested in the game, but it was always a part of our night.

As far as cards go, ever since getting back into the hobby since August of last year, the Net54 community has been invaluable into my card knowledge, pre-war history, and helped fuel the card fire!

I've also been super grateful for folks like Mike Moynihan and the Benchclear media team for helping me understand general hobby knowledge. Being local, Mike was kind enough to meet me for lunch and let me pick his brain. I can't get enough of the vintage card YouTubers... amazing resources.

Thanks Net54 crew- hope everyone has had a great thanksgiving!
