Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Coming out from the lurking mist

Hi! My name is Anthony Ocasio. I'm from Muskegon Michigan and I've been reading these forums for the last five months now. I'm an avid collector but mostly of baseball memorabilia rather than cards themselves. I also enjoy classic autos and collect coins.
I manufacture water purification systems for large businesses (thus my board name) and am able to travel around the country doing so. This allows me the opportunity to also visit various shops and shows that I otherwise would never see.

I love adding unique items to my ever growing collection, usually at the objection of my wife. I'm hoping one day though, when I too shall pass, my spouse will have a collection that is more valuable than stocks and bonds. Certainly much better than interest rates.

Well, I promise not to be a pain and will mostly be catching up on reading past posts by the experts and enthusiasts of these forums. Thanks for letting me ramble.

    Anthony - if it ever comes between having to choose between the wife and your baseball cards, well it is hoped you make the right choice image

    Welcome aboard!

    Welcome Anthony. For what it is worth, you are not alone.....most of us married guys add things to our collections despite the objections of our wives as well.

    Welcome Anthony. My 5 ex-wives took the objecting route as well. The cards and memorabilia also age alot better too......

    Glad to see someone who will enrich us with some variety - cards are great but I look forward to your posts on other items.

    The beginning is classic. The "cover sheets" for the TPS reports and stuff!

    That happens in real life - I remember when I was a Captain in the Army - I forgot to do a report the new way - over the next 24 hrs. no less than 5 different people over me came over to tell me about it!

    I would proceed to tell them that Sergeant So and So had already gone over this, they would ignore that and proceed to tell me about how important it is to get these reports done a certain way!

  • Yep. Milton from Office Space. Directed by Mike Judge, the creator and voices of Beavis and Butthead.

    Mike, make sure it's a Swingline, the Boston staplers jam image
  • We just recently moved and I have all my stuff in an off-site storage facility. It's humidity and tempt. controlled (wife thinks that's going overboard). As soon as I get it all out and organized and as soon as I learn how to host pictures here, you better believe I'll be bragging a tad!
    Thanks for the warm wishes. It'll be nice to settle in and call this place home.
