Hello, I’m Jim. I am one of those brick and mortar ball card dealers. Have been for over 26 years. Also raise cattle on a small farm in Arkansas. I am married with 2 children, both grown and gone (thank god). also have one grand daughter. I recently sold my entire inventory of cards and my personal collection of over one million cards. But do not despair. Once my wife said that without my shop I had to get a job, I hustled out and bought a few collections and some unopened product and dodged that job bullet. Whew, close call! I have a lot of experience in the ball card business and in collecting so if I can ever help a member here, I would be more than willing to offer what I can to help.

My name is Troy, and I am married with 3 daughters, one grandson, and a chocolate lab puppy named Nikita. I live about 45 minutes north of Toronto, Ontario Canada, in a city called Barrie. Lived in this general area most all of my life. I’m a huge hockey fan, and collect mainly hockey autos, and also dabble a bit in golf, and NASCAR autos. I am also a huge McFarlane Sportspicks figurine collector. Probably have 500+ figures. I also collect hockey items like jerseys, and sticks, but small in comparison to the card collection I’ve accumulated over the years. As you can tell by my board name, I’m a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan, but don’t hold that against me. My favorite player is Rick Nash from the Columbus Blue Jackets!

Mr. Tim is out of Jacksonville, FL. I’m married and have 2 sons. Been collecting since I could crawl in baseball, football, basketball, and comic cards. After going to college and getting bored of set collecting, my focuses have narrowed to the greatest quarterback ever, Dan Marino. I love my hobby and have a lot of knowledge I am more than willing to share.
PS Feel free to check my collection out in my bucket whenever you’d like!
