Hey guys... If you've been wondering where I'm at, It's been a long, rough ride.
The long and short of it is, I lost my card business in the recession. I got left holding the bag for about $35,000 in bad debts on wax that I gave out on credit. People stopped paying and I got burned real bad.
I got divorced and that forced me to have to sell pretty much all of my collection with the exception of a few autographed baseballs and some Vanderbilt items of sentimental value.
Well, that was about 10 months ago, so now I'm starting to get back on my feet again. I opened a new business and it is booming, so I'm hoping to get back into the collecting aspect of cards. (I think I'm done making a living off them, though!)
Anyway, I hope to try to make my presence known around these parts from here on. You all have always been tremendous friends and I've missed you. Not having the money to participate in the hobby really made me want to stay away, but things are turning up and I hope to start picking up a few things here and there now.
Anyway, that's my story... and I'm sticking too it.
