In searching for somebody to profile, I discovered that there aren't really any famous collectors with much to write about. So I thought I would ahead and pull the unprecedented step of profiling myself. Doing so can be a difficult thing to do, because accurately portraying yourself can be one of the most difficult things to do.
As I have mentioned before, I collected as kid, but stopped in my teens. The hustle and bustle of teen life generally isn't too conductive to slower paced things and I would place card collecting in that category. As time passed and I got into my early adult life, I got more in the hobby. I primarily focus on rookie cards as generally they have pretty good value both now and in the future. Some of my prized possessions are rookie cards such as 2010 Stephen Strasburg which was a very highly touted card as it was coming into the scene.
I grow older and my tastes change. Over the past couple of years, I've gained a new found appreciation for older cards. Mostly cards from the 80's and 90's, getting these cards is interesting for me because although I was not alive during this area, it's still a great era in baseball history. I'm sure my tastes will continue to change and evolve as time goes on. The same is true in life and the more I think about it, the more life and card collecting go hand and hand.
The following is a picture of me at one of my first baseball games.
