Hi Dave, I'm 38 years old, married to a wonderful woman who supports my card collecting habit and have two great kids--an eight year old son and a five year old daughter. My wife and I are in the process of adopting a baby girl from China who should arrive next year. We left L.A. in 2004 for 20 acres outside beautiful Boulder, Colorado where we built a nice house in the foothills. My son is the biggest sports nut I know--he'll watch anything from baseball to football to lacrosse to curling. I have my own patent law practice which allows me to troll the Web (most notably this site and eBay) on weekdays during often extended work breaks. After a near 20-year hiatus I started collecting cards again in late 2003. I became so interested in T206 that I conducted a long-term study of eBay transactions and published a book with many of my findings. It's available for free download at oldcardboard.com and t206museum.com if you would like a copy. I have set T206 aside for the time being and am currently trying to acquire one card of each hall of famer from their active days. My favorite cards are E93 Waddell, N162 Keefe and T206 Lajoie with Bat. Best of luck with your low-end T206 set, and welcome. Scot
