Collected in 70/80's youth mostly, and then after long happy life (so far), got the bug again.  Like lots of folks I guess...

Two years into being back in the hobby - Aside: understand that back from the 70/80s, my youth (akin to many now), I had many cards stored (now) over the decades (with parents and all) but, sadly nothing real special, condition-wise at least...'79 Ozzi, '80 Henderson, '93 Jeter, etc. but, uhmm, not pristine you know 'cause as a kid wasn't a concern just in it for ripping fun times! so now, like no chance of grading LOL -- regardless, they are my favorite cards since they survived the years! ... anyway, got sidetracked there but, in those times was just a kid, all fun, no serious "collecting/preserving" cards or even thinking about it! Then, COVID...

Am very close to retirement and thus when all that hit, I got back into collecting cards...love ripping, found I love un-opened sometimes more...so, squirreling away a bunch of it for when I do retire and can get serious...

Which includes starting to trade!  Danged, I want to open to trading floodgates now, bit just fear I don't have the time yet to fairly allocate to it.  Am also OCD and a set collector -- hate when i don't have that completeness when I start in on a set!  You know the feeling...some at least! 

Welp, a year older, another year here...really appreciate this place and ability to catalog my cards!

Peace.
