Why I Write and a Little About Me

Hello and welcome to my site.  I am an amatuer writer who is soon to be working for a sports card site called www.Naxcom.com  I write because I feel it is the best way to voice one's opinion on a subject, and a good way to get feedback from other people.  I collect all things sports.  Magazines, cards, newspapers, photos, bats, balls, autographs, jerseys, anything you can think of.  Most of my topics will be based on collecting sports cards, but I can branch out at any time, so be on the look out.  Right now I have a fantasy world novel in progress, so if anyone knows any publishers, let me hear about them.  Thanks and enjoy the reading

Henry


News and Updates

NEWS AND UPDATES

6/18/04:  Site www.freewebs.com/writer2244/  fully created.  This will be the format for the duration of the site, and hopefully even after I find someone to give me a server when this gets big enough.

6/20/04:  Realized that the site can only have 8 paragraphs per page.  This means only 8 articles per page, meaning I will end up needing more space at some point.  If anyone is interested in giving me some server space, please let me know at smithaaronfan@yahoo.com

6/26/04:  Added new article to the Sports Card Topics page titled Card Grading:  Catastrophe or Godsend.  This article is part of a little series I am trying to set up.  This gives brief introductions of each company, their management and services.  It also takes a look at past sales of each company, and the pro's and con's of grading.  Hope you enjoy it.

7/7/04:  Began an interview with Mr. Jou on his thoughts on both grading and the 2004 Product Lineup for Baseball
