Who am I?

[f2tornado]

Justin Turcotte, 31
Lead Forecast Meteorologist

At a crossroads in collecting. Getting a little board with Torii Hunter now that he isn't a Twin and have not really latched on to other players on the team yet. I still grab the occasional Morneau, Mauer, Gomez, Griffey, and Favre. I still like unique game-used cards and usually get them in BGS slabs

Grew up in MN, spent a couple years in WI and NE before getting to chilly ND. If it is summer and a severe storm is around then I'll be chasing it. I've danced with a couple tornadoes. When the weather is quiet I'm at home with the two girls, three if you include the ball and chain.

[aminors]

Name: Anthony Majors (a for anthony, minors=opposite of majors hence aminors)

Age-15

What I collect: I collect Madison Bumgarner, Ian Kinsler, Mike Pelfrey, Russ Martin, Yankees, and Xfractors. I have too many people to thank in my sig, so I only list Xfractors and Bumgarner. I also collect anything of Georgia Bulldogs football players.

About me: I'm a sophomore in HS, the youngest in my class because I skipped a grade. I'm really tall, so I swim. This year was my first year and I wasn't in love with it, so I'm taking my 6'6" frame to basketball next year. I have a girlfriend of nearly 18 months, and she's pretty much my life (other than FCB and school, lol). I'm center snare drummer (highest position on the drumline) as well as Drill Sergeant for my drumline. I also play drum set for my school's pep band.

Great thread so far guys keep them coming. It looks like a well educated bunch.

This post made me laugh only because it came on the heels of 4 high school kids, two college grads and one in JC.

[bouwob]

I am John Wenzel and am 26 years old.

I collect Nolan Ryan. I am a super frugal collector and enjoy finding a 1989 whatever card worth $.50, just as much if not more than finding an auto. I am also a completeionest. That said I go backwards in % complete every year. My ultimate goal is to have every card in the PSA master set. (non psa of course). I also dabble in my bulk collection. If I have the money I will look into picking up large lots of non pacific ryan cards for $.06 to $.07 per card. I currently have 17421 total nolan ryan cards and hope to some day have 1 million.

I went to school at Pennsylvania college of technology.
I have an
AS in Management Information Systems
and a
BS in Software Engineering.

I worked for about 2 years here as a web developer
http://newspaperarchive.com/
I currently work for Wal-mart as a software engineer.

I spend my free time browsing ebay, working on my ryan collection, drinking and spending WAAAAAY to much time on this site. I make sure the nuts and bolts are in place, attempting to prevent disasters and yes creating them from time to time

[sheetskout]

I'll play!

Name: Jordan Mendelblatt
Age: 30

I started collecting in the mid 80's when I was a kid. I mostly was a set collector in those days but often bought on impulse with stuff that caught my eye.

Today, I am a hardcore prospector. I am very realistic in my endeavours and goals. I am in this for the investment now. I don't view myself in any negative light for this and still am a true fan in every other aspect of the game.

You probably have seen me around here and the former BMB and often talk Brewers with my boys Hive and Kevbo.

 

[muskiesfan]

Name- Joe Elder
Age- 30

I collect Ken Griffey Jr. and Pete Rose. I redid my Pete Rose photobucket to make everything better organized. I even rescanned everything. I am doing the same thing with my Griffey collection, but it's taking a lot longer. :lol:

About me- I have been married for almost 2 years (June 9). I have a Master's in English and my wife have her Bachelor's in Psychology. I have a Toy Poodle (I wanted a big dog, my wife didn't. I think you see who won. :lol: ). I'm just not very interesting I guess.

[dreamerfan]

Name - Kristopher Czar
Age - 31

I collect mainly Larry Walker and have started to veer off to Justin Verlander and Jeff Gerbe. I am starting to redue my photo bucket and thinking of building a web page dedicated to the greatest Canadian baseball player # 33 in your sports page Larry Walker

About me- I have been stuck at home for the last year due to having some major back surgery and due to that I have had a lot of time to look at this web page and ebay to further my collection. I graduated from college last year due to all my free time and I have started to work on my next degree. I have worked for Chrysler for the last 10 years and do not want to do anything else. I am not a prospector and would rather have a low level hall of famer than a prospect.

 

[SeattlefantillIdie]

Name- Eric Juhl (pronounced Jewel, it's Danish and by far the most screwed up 4-letter last name in existance!)
Age- 27

I collect ANYTHING Seattle related! I was born and raised until I turned 18 and joined the Army. Met my wife and stayed in rat-hole Kansas! But I still go after whatever I can of any Seattle player. My biggies are Griffey, King Felix, Shaun Alexander and my main man, MATT HASSELBECK!

About me- well, still recovering from my double spinal fusion, but the VA is having me go to college here soon, so that is a plus. I will be going to Kansas-Wesleyan to get a BA in Business and Management. Heard they have a great program for that. Would like to get my Masters there too, but first things first! Been married for 7 years, 8 in August. Have 3 wonderful children, 7, 6 and 3. I am trying to get back to Seattle ASAP! But college will hold that up now! I am a MOPAR nut as well as a GUN nut!

 

[KandKCards]

I suppose I'll play...
Name: Will Kantrowitz
Age: 20
Collect: I don't really buy anything anymore without the purpose of eventually selling it. I buy short term flips, prospects, and longer term stuff like HOF autos. My stuff tends to be high end stuff that I know won't be losing much/any value.
About me: I'm from about 30 minutes outside of Boston, MA. I currently live outside of Philadelphia where I'm a student at Villanova University (in the business school). I am a finance major and business law minor and depending on how long I stick around, maybe also a real estate minor. Despite being interested in business, I am going into coaching when I graduate (starting and hope to stay in college basketball, but we'll see).

 

[cbrandtw]

Brandt Wilhelm, 36, father of 3 (2 boys, 1 girl) along with 2 dogs and 1 cat. Married 11 years. Better half is RN. I am the Director of Operations for the city of Mobile, AL's Convention Center. Graduated with BS in Management from U. of South Alabama. We enjoy our free time relaxing at the beach.

I mainly collect A-Rod (focusing on 1993-99), vintage Clemente, and just certain cards that catch my eye. For example, among others was a Joe D cut auto (it looked so good I had to get it). It's hard to explain but I just have certain cards in my head that I simply want. I am just looking for particular high end cards. Not just any Ted Williams auto will do. I am looking for a certain "one".
