Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Al. I have been regularly reading this site for many years (at least 5).

My collection/investment is primarily in higher dollar PSA 10's, especially from the 1970's and 80's. I set up at around 6 shows a year including the National but I guess I'd consider myself more of a long term investor/collector than dealer. I've had the pleasure to meet many of you on this site including Scott, Matt M, Eric, Goomba Joe, Mike, Ray R to name a few.

I'm very thankful to many board members for teaching me things and keeping me current on industry happenings including Stone and others over the years. So, I figured it was time I joined and if there was something I can do to return the favor from what I've learned I could. While my collection and views may not be the same as all, I hope you will all find me a solid contributor and open minded person who loves this hobby. In terms of personal info, I'm 50 years old, grew up in Philly so I'm a long suffering Eagles fan. My interests include running and I like to box. Looking forward to getting to know you more of you! Al

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    ok, I will add a scan of one of my favorites (Bird/Magic PSA 10) once I figure this out...can I attach a file from my hard drive like I can on ebay to here simply by uploading?

    That is impressive to watch for so long with our participating. I imagine if i were reading topics and watching debates happening before my eyes, it wouldn't be long before I had to chime in myself.

    Welcome officially.
    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    No. You'll need to upload the pics to a file sharing site like photobucket first. Copy the image location and then upload here by using the icon that looks like a picture frame.

    Hello and welcome, from a fellow runner image. Back in 1980, I was a big Eagles fan...Wilbert Montgomery, Ron Jaworski, Harold Charmichael, Roynell Young, all those guys.
