About Me

In 1970 my father bought me my first pack of cards. In 2002, I did the same for my two sons. In between I’ve collected sets, stars, and autographs without any real focus. Once my sons became interested in collecting, I decided to focus on 3 projects that I never completed.

In 1985, I started to get the entire 1985 Topps set autographed. Luckily, many of the stars of that era would do autograph shows for considerable less then they do today. I completed the set in the Spring of 2007.

Around the same time I looked at all of the Mets autographs that I had collected over the previous 20 years. I wanted to try to get an autograph on every Topps card that pictured a New York Met. I stopped trying to get these cards signed after the 1990 set. From 1962 through 1990 Topps issued 971 cards that featured Mets. Today I need 26 more autographed cards to have them all. I still want to get all the Topps Mets cards from 1991 to today, but they are not as important as the 62-90 players.  In total, there are 1,410 cards that could be autographed from 1962 - 2007.  I need less then 135 more to have them all signed.

Four years ago I started to collect signed retro cards.  Here are the sets I'm working on.   

2001 - 2007 Topps Heritage

2004 Topps Cracker Jack

2004 Bowman Heritage

Finally 3 years ago, I decided to collect one card of every Baseball Hall of Famer. Sounds easy enough, but I only want to use one card from any set. That makes it more difficult, and almost impossible to put a wantlist together. Over forty of the cards I have are autographed. I need less then 30 more players.

If you see something I have to trade on my havelist, but don’t have anything for me from my wantlist, send me an email anyway. We also collect almost any cards of Mets, Jets, Knicks and Nets.
