Retired gigolo. I knew it was time to pack it in when I couldn't get up for work in the morning.

Currently in the Army (writing from Afghanistan). I've made some nice pre-war purchases since I've been here, so I'm looking forward to laying eyes on them when I get back. Hope to transition to management consulting later next year.

Default what I do

great to see so many servicemen in our community! Thank you to all!

I work for an insurance company in the 'burbs of Boston on the investments side of the house. Not nearly as exciting as everyone else's job (or so it seems).

One might argue that I have a part-time job of baseball card collecting (and occasional selling) during the day. Sometimes I wonder if my hobby/addiction will turn into something more full-time.

Default I manage money...

for wealthy individuals, non-profits, and Foundations.
I often think to myself, when in meetings with clients: "Do you know how many vintage cards you could buy with all the money you have?!"

Ted, great car. That's as much a classic as any of the cards you post.

You say you have two of them. What years are they?

Would have retired from the Marine Corps last month but got out a handful of years ago. Wasn't sure how many more lives this cat had left in him. Got out with enough sanity to start a beautiful family and now I sell stuff to the government.

Neat, I bet a few things came up that made the job take a bit longer than expected.
