About Me
I collected cards as a kid in the 80's and gave it up in the 90's when cards became really shiny and there were more and more different sets coming out every year. I picked it up again just after college around 1999 when I picked up some vintage stuff for the first time. I decided back then that no matter how long it took, I would finish a set of 1954 Topps and I now need just 2 cards to complete the set. I got really into prewar cards for several years and I'm still actively collecting them. I'm also working on a few vintage sets which is why I've created this site. I've got my wants listed here.
I've been interested in T206s with stamps on the back for a long time now and have an interactive online project documenting all the various stamps that I've seen. You can visit the project here. Many of the examples in the project are from my personal collection, however most of them are either images I've found online or have been submitted by other collectors to be included in the project.
I look forward to hearing from you, so please don't hesitate to email and say hi. Talk to you later!
12/01/12 Update:
Well, I've accomplished my goal of joining an online trading group and I couldn't be more excited and happy about it. OBC Rules! My trading and set building has just taken off lately and I look forward to helping all these great guys out over the years. My dupes box is growing and I've already been able to hit several want lists to help out other collectors. Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me into this great part of the hobby. I am truly grateful.

Condition requirements:
I am not very concerned with the condition of my cards. Most of my vintage cards are in poor to vg condition and I'm happy trading at this level. I don't like to get too caught up in higher grades and values. I prefer to trade commons in low grade for commons in low grade and stars for stars, but will consider all trades. I want to meet collectors who believe in the common goodness that transcends investment grade cards and "flipping" cards for money. Basically, I'm just hoping to meet some nice people to share the hobby with.
