What does your user ID mean? Johnny Bench was my childhood hero and as far as I was concerned as a young kid he ruled the day.
State where you reside? Michigan
What do you enjoy collecting? I rejoined the card collecting world about 2 years ago after taking about a 30 year break. Once I got back into card collecting I decided to really go after some high-grade Bench cards as his cards bring back such great memories of my childhood collecting. Love collecting HOF players mainly post-war but I am being drawn into pre-war and it will be just a matter of time. It is great to be able to purchase cards today that I could only dream of as a kid collecting.

What do you enjoy collecting? I collect pretty much only baseball. Graded, I collect HOF rookies and other key cards. But the bulk of my collection is ungraded in three sets of binders, organized alphabetically by player name: (1) active players I like; (2) retired players I like or have some personal connection to; and (3) hall of famers. Any card of the player from any era is eligible for the binders, and condition matters very little.
Great idea. Hopefully this may kick start some more activity on the board.

What do you enjoy collecting? nothing in particular, collections have changed over the years due to family, family circumstances, finances, etc, etc....something we all relate to. My biggest collecting accomplishment was completing a 1960 Topps football set, all in PSA 8. also had several others that were on the registry over the years that I had to sell due to the finances previously mentioned. Had probably best registry experiences conversing with Bill when I tried to put together the 1984 Donruss baseball set in PSA 9, unfortunately that one also was sold, the thread is probably still alive on the threads somewhere, Bill are you there? I think his was the first original thread on the 84 Donruss set

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
First name: Duane Age: 52 What does my user name mean?: I'm a sap for PSA graded cards. Home state: CA What do I collect?: Too many things to name, but signed rookie cards are my current obsession.
What Does User ID Mean: Combination of my home state and what I collect. Always interesting to see collectors from NJ area, so thought I would add it to my handle.
What do you enjoy collecting: 95% of my efforts (and budget) are spent in 1980s unopened baseball. The rest in late 70s unopened and on rare occasions, some Hofer rookie singles. I still don't have everything from the years I primarily collect as there are just so many different form factors that the manufacturers used back then. I'm slowly checking items off my list, but I am resolved to the reality of likely never getting certain items (eg. unopened 1984 Donruss rack product in a box or case form). I buy and own quantity of everything 1980-1987 unopened baseball (and a hoard of 89UD) in a decently wide variety. I also tend to rip packs, or even a box, from time to time.
Btw, great idea for a thread DNICE!

al.
Exactly right Al. The jump ball call at the end of the game was brutal. Clearly a CSU rebound and foul on navy, which would have iced the game. Navy went on to get CRUSHED by Duke, while CSU would've had a legitimate shot. Insiders wanted the Admiral vs Duke....what a great team that was...
