Well after my recent disaster in losing nearly all of my high end stuff and my PC's I decided to start over. I was talking to a friend recently who had something that I couldn't pass up in adding to my new collection. I worked out a deal with him on it and he was more than understanding of my situation so we bartered a fair deal.

I am not switching sides to the bad guys but I have a ton of respect for this guy...........so without further adieu, I give you the start and probably cornerstone of my new collection........

I still have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go to get back up on my feet, but this is a good start. I want to say thank you also in advance to those of you that have offered to help me out. I really appreciate it.

I remember when my cousin's house burned down after some burglars broke in and set it on fire. He was a huge Tarheel fan/Ripken fan/ Chris Mullin fan. I gave him a huge stash of my PC at the time of these guys and went to local shops and shows to try to find stuff to replenish his collection. I never really thought of karma but I guess it does come around to help me out when I'm in need.

From a Williams collector, I'm envious. I have a few Williams auto's , but don't have any Williams cuts. Thats easily one of the best looking ones I've seen.

Yeah I decided to have some fun with it. I won't be buying stuff for a while because of my cashflow bind but its not bad. Like I said, some people have been looking out for me.

I think thats a fantastic card Brian.

Maybe in this new role, you'll go quality over quantity?

What else do you collect? I don't have any Zimmermans, but want to send you some stuff to help get the PC running again. Teams? Players?

THanks for the offer Ty. I collect Yankees stuff, ya know Jeter Mattingly Joba etc....I also had a small stash of JP Arencibia *cough gold refractor auto cough* LOL and I did have some Griffey and Ripken stuff. I am a multi color patch nut so I had some decent patches and such. Just whatever caught my eye.

Hey I was just kidding with you dude. I can't and won't ask for anything from anyone. I do understand though how the brotherhood works and I have helped before when it was needed. I really appreciate the thought Ty. It really helps me knowing there are good people like all of you that are willing to listen to my rants.
