1. What is your focus today, in collecting?
--Anything PCL (especially Zeenuts), anything Willie Keeler, oddball Ruth cards (W519 etc).


2. What are the 3 cards you need most?
--Tin Top Keeler, W600 Keeler, any Zeenut HOFer I don't have.


3. Do you like to trade, buy, or a combination when you do acquire your
needs?
--Any combination will do, but trading is by far the most fun.


4. Has the economy forced you to sell things you wouldn't have otherwise?
--No.


5. What is your absolute favorite series, why?
--Zeenuts. I live near Seattle and enjoy West Coast baseball history. Many players with Zeenut cards also played in the Majors. The mystery of the long-running series is addicting. Great cards spanning a long period of time: 1911 to 1938. Color, black and white, and sepia cards make for a good variety to collect.



6. How do you enjoy acquiring your cards most- Ebay, auction, BST, shows etc...?
--Shows are the best. Talking with other collectors and seeing cards in person is far more rewarding than browsing scans online.


7. What do you do for a living, how old are you and where do you live?
--Attorney/accountant, 32 years old, 10 minutes north of Seattle, WA
