Best,

Thank U much for the welcome
I will be looking thru the BST from time to time to see what's there.
My preference is for ungraded unslabbed cards or "fillers" as I see them called. Fits my budget and I can put them in standard size toploaders and sleeves and they fit together neatly.

Welcome wp (Slim),

You will fit right in with us. Some of us collect higher grade (not me usually) but most of us collect cards instead of slabs. (not that there is anything wrong with that). We are mostly a friendly bunch with a few in-family arguments as any family has.
Check out the overall site too...under the "community" tab there is a neat place to have a picture album as well as a members list etc...and we have a memorabilia section and a post-war section with other sports too, under each of the icons at top....Take care, happy collecting and welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay. If I can ever help just let me know!!

Hey Welcome! Reading stories and background information on deadball players in the T206 set is one of my favorite parts about collecting.

Welcome. And I like the look of your cards. Knowledge of Ames' wild pitches adds to your enjoyment of his card. I think that knowing about the people depicted on the cards one's collecting really adds to the enjoyment and appreciation. Much better, in my estimation, than focusing solely on a paper slip atop a slab.

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome

Already enjoying the board.

here is my Facebook gallery of the cards I have collected so far. I only have 13 of them but I only started collecting in November so don't judge too harshly.
