Hello all,
My name is Anthony and I am (fairly) new here. I originally joined a few months back with the hopes of talking about some autographed memorabilia I had some questions about. I have built up a modest autograph collection over the past few years (mostly NY Sports-- The yankees and the islanders) and after reading these boards and conversing with a few of you here, I have decided to start collecting cards again. I am just about to finish a 2009 Topps Heritage Set, which was the first box of baseball cards I've purchased in almost 8 years. I had been living in my childhood house over the past few months and discovered a bunch of cards I had had since my youth, and decided that now would be a great a time as any to attempt to complete some of these sets. Some of them borderline on vintage (1969 topps and 1973 topps) while some are just cards I really loved from my early days of collecting (Pretty much anything from 95-99, specifically the 95 Denny's cards, 1997 Upper Deck [I thought it was so cool they included captions], 1998 Metal Universe, and 1998 Score). I know, they aren't worth anything, but they hold a great sentimental value to me and after all, isn't that what collecting should be-- having fun?
I wanted to send a thank you to everyone here who has helped me decide to jump back into the card world and let you all know that I look forward to having many more discussions with you!

what do you still need for the 09 Heritage?
Edit to add: 1998 Metal Universe, and 1998 Score rock IMO!

Zep, I have just a few of the regular set to go, around 20 or so. I was going to post in the Heritage thread with my list. I don't have much to trade though, so I was thinking eBay would be a good option.
185, 215, 222, 232, 256, 293, 298, 299, 314, 320, 347, 366, 396, 398,403,415,420,422,423 and ,424
Fur, Metal Universe was a great set. I loved the crazy places they would put the players. Ryne Sandberg in the jungle running away from a rhino was always my favorite. The 1999 set was lackluster IMO.
When I get a scanner, I'll be more than happy to share.
Thanks
