Graduated from a small commuter school, but at least I can honestly say I was a four year NCAA athlete
Only teams I like are the ones I bet on
Collected baseball cards from the mid-80s until around 2007. Then just shoved everything into the closet. It's finally time to get rid of it all. Want to not own stuff other than the absolute basics. But I also like having money more than not having money so I'm selling them instead of throwing them all away. It's slow, but the process led me here a few months ago. And even if I don't care to buy anything talking about cards might still suit me

I've been working on the 1970 set as well. I remember when I first started collecting as a kid my mom took me to a card show and said she was going to buy me the 70 set because it was the year I was born. When we found one she balked because it was a whole $150.00.
