Hey guys, I thought it would be fun to have a thread to get to know each other and learn a little about each other we didn't already know.

name:Logan Broz
Age:20
What I collect: I really enjoy collecting hard to find and High end Stars and Hofers. I just recently started collecting high end cuts and really enjoy the hunt for them. I like the aspect that even if you find the card you want you have to make sure the cut is nice. I also collect the 04 Sp Game Used Nicknames auto/patch, I really enjoy collecting this set because they rarely pop up and there great looking cards with great looking patches.

About me: I'm currently attending Butler CC to get my Internetworking Management degree while also working at Intrust Bank. I go to school full time and work at the bank close to full time also. I'm still living at home while I got to college so that I can save money and have stuff I want. After Butler I plan on attending WSU to obtain my Computer Networking Degree.

Name: Harrison Benson
Age: 18
What I Collect: I collect Miguel Cabrera cards. I try and get every card he has, but that can be rather challenging. I really like trying to get as many 1/1's as I can of Cabrera, especially superfractors. I also enjoy getting as many of his Topps Traded Rookie card autos that I can get as well.
About me: I live in Boston, Massachusetts.
I am pretty sure I will be attending University of Maryland next fall, and I am going to major in finance.

I collect Alex Rios but that has since became a big challenge as stuff rarley pops up that I dont already have. Ive been collecting the last 5 years but havent gotten serious about cards until I was about 16. Its hard to buy cards w/o a job but when I get $ i go on sprees.
Come fall I will be attending Pace University and plan on doing something with business

What I collect: Currently collecting Chipper Jones, Kelly Johnson, 2008 Ultimate Patch autos, 2008 Ultimate Barrel Slice Autos, and 2009 Topps Jumbo Patches. Chipper is my favorite player, and may end up being the best switch hitter ever when his career is done. Kelly Johnson has one of the sweetest swings in baseball and is very underrated. I'd look for that to change this season (All Star Game here he comes?). The sets I'm collecting are some of the best looking sets I've seen in the last 10 years (in my opinion), and while challenging shouldn't be impossible to complete (although there are only five Bo Jackson patch autos out there so keep an eye out for one for me...I've seen one, and it sold pretty quick with a $200 BIN).

About me: I have a BS in Civil Engineering, and I currently work for the City of Anchorage reviewing Structural and Architectural Plans for code compliance. I write on the side and hope to finish a novel by the end of the year which I may try to get published or self publish it using createspace or another similar site.

What I collect: crappy cards no one else on here likes because they aren't prospects
About me: I teach behavior disorder and I am also the asssistant athletic director at Hoover Hgh Schoool (Jeremy Hellickson's alma mater!) in Des Moines, Iowa. I am currently in grad school to get my masters in administration with the hopes of becoming a full-time athletic director in the near future. Other than cardboard, my other vice is high school and collegiate wrestling. In college I won our conference all four years (7th person in school history to do so) and also qualified for the National Tournament all four years. Of course that was 20 years and 70 pounds ago. :lol:

I'm always changing what I collect. Sometimes I do sets, sometimes I collect prospects, sometimes I collect players (some of the players I've collected in the last few years alone: Barry Bonds, Vladimir Guerrero, Barry Zito, Francisco Liriano, Clint Nageotte-oops, Mark Teixeira). I can never stay on a project for more than a few months.

Educational background: Graduated Cornell University in 2007 with a BA in molecular and cellular biology. Was awarded a 1-year fellowship to do research at the NIH (did my research on cystic fibrosis). I'm now a first-year med student at Northwestern University. I'm hoping to be a radiologist in the future. Good money, don't have to put up with crap from patients.

Name: Matt Zook

What I Collect: I collected cards for about 15 years then switched over to game used memorabilia. Now all i collect is anything Alcides Escobar. I have 6 game used bats and 2 game used jerseys of his and im always on the lookout for more. I just recently got back into collecting cards when I saw a certain Brewers prospect card and decided to start stashing. I plan to reveal my stash in a couple months. Other than that i love anything brewers.

About me: I am 23 years old and married for almost 8 months. I live in an upstairs apartment in Huntsville Alabama and my wife is a nurse in the neonatal department. I have a beagle named penny who is 9 months old and i work at a resteraunt called Bonefish Grill. I go to tons of Huntsville Stars games (Brewers AA) because i live 5 minutes from the stadium. I also get in this forum for probably 2 hours a day. Its starting to remind me of what the "other" forum was like when it was awesome. I also hope to take the 14 hour drive to Milwaukee for a few Brewers game this season.

Brice Bisel, 22, Oklahoma City, OK.

Collect: Rickey Henderson, Bryant Reeves, and guys I have played against in the past, (Lucas French, Ben Krosschell, David Aardsma, etc).

About me: Just graduated from CSU-Pueblo with a bachelor's in English. Was an all conference baseball player there and had a contract with Yarmouth Dennis in the Cape before I blew out my shoulder the first time. 90 mph was no more, and I blew it out a second time after surgery, so coached my last year there. Just moved to OKC hoping to attend law school in the fall getting my J.D. in oil and natural gas law, with a little contract law on the side in case any of my old teammates need an agent down the road.
