Only the founding members might recognize me!

[Sporto]

Hello everyone! My name is Tommy and I actually was involved with Traders Retreat when the founding members started it way back when! I remember it because it was just as I was getting out of collecting when this place started. I was in college, needed money, and sold off my collection of graded rookie cards and high end gu/autos. Well, now that my life is stable and I have extra cash to play with, I'm getting back into the game! I just started back up my collection, and will be trying to get a page together, pics, etc. of the cards I have available.

I am a high end collector for the most part. When I decided to get back into collecting, I was going to make sure I got cards for ME and not for any kind of profit or re-sale value. I collect graded rookie cards of baseball, basketball, and football of ALL years. I also will collect GU/AUTO of iconic players of all eras.

I'm looking to make friends in the sports card community, shoot the breeze, maybe have someone help me who has access to SMR or Beckett Grading Report for when I buy my cards, and also dabble in some trades. I usually will blow money on a wax box of some kind every month or so, and will always have any decent pulls available for trade.

Oh, and there was a good friend I made a long while back from here, his name was Brett and used the screen name SkiVermont - HUGE Jeter fan back then. If he still pokes around here, he better come say hi!

That is all for now - I'm glad to see you kept this site going all these years!

Tommy
