The New Guy

[Abbott1979]

As many others, I collected when I was younger then stopped as I went to college. My dad died a few years ago, and after getting past that I started looking at his cards again and it renewed my interest in the hobby.

He was a collector of Jim Abbott and had many cards which I first organized then later started continuing the build. I was shocked with how many cards have been made since Abbott retired. I have been scooping up the missing pieces after compiling my list from TCDB, but I can see it's going to take years to track them all down (if ever).

I joined to have a fellowship with others who suffer this insanity and hopefully find unique avenues to track down hard to find cards.

Thanks and look forward to chatting!

I'll definitely share more as I am able. This is my current status as I'm about to do the floors in this room.

At at just shy of 4000 cards for Abbott.

I'm actually missing his Hickory Crawdads card!

If you find a bunch of cards I'll be a buyer in any case. I never got to meet the man but from all accounts it sounded like he was a great person.
