About

Hi there! I’m relatively new to collecting in the 21st century, having gotten back into it in 2016 after about 2 decades away. The industry, or hobby as most like to call it, has changed a lot since the Junk Wax era, when I first started collecting.

I’ve learned quite a bit in the past few years, mostly by asking questions of people with much more knowledge of collecting than I. With all of the notes I’ve compiled, I figured it could help someone else that’s coming back to sports cards after years away, or someone hearing about the ‘investment opportunities’ and jumping in for the first time.

I hope you find all of the information provided useful, and if you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
