Barry has helped with all my crazy requests for analysis and Andy took care of some things for me when I needed some help. I also appreciate member Jared, scoutsout47, as he is one easy dude to work with with a great outlook on the hobby and dealings. There are a few members I have had correspondance with that helped when looking into new sets...too many to mention but all you guys were more than helpful including tony, e107collector, David, novakjr as well as a few others. Thens there Zach, zljones, and I just enjoy reading his off the wall posts that I always seem to come back to. Never corresponded with Dan McKee but I'd join his slab-busting army any day. Great guys who have me more than once. Enjoy your hobby!

LOL thanks Steven. I can be a little nutty at times, and sometimes I ramble like crazy when I type and get too enthused lol . I also enjoy your posts as well, I find myself nodding my head in agreement at a lot of the things you say. Cheers!

I have been reading this forum for a while, then finally joined a year or so ago, and I'm young so I've always had a pull towards modern, then coming here, I can't stay away from vintage/pre-war.

Leon, huge help for keeping this going, but the one to help me influence/expand my collection would be Paul, T206collector. He has the BEST signed T206 in existence that I am aware of. I've been looking at his site for about 6 years in sheer amazement at what he's accumulated, and have briefly emailed in over the years. And his collection inspires mine to focus more so on the signed pre-war side. As I now have 4 signed T206's that I am absolutely ecstatic about, regardless of condition, in my collection all thanks to that man. Can't say thank you enough Paul.

Rand Bailey checks in here on occasion and did a lot to get me started as did Marco Rol in his old Southern Cards days.

If you want to go back to my very earliest days, and I don't know that either of them are still around, the Lambert Brothers from Ironton Ohio did a lot to get me to look beyond Topps as did Paul Pollard.

I would be remiss not to thank Teddy Z and Marc DelPercio for their help in my recent endeavors.
