And so it begins....

Here's to hoping that I can keep this thing going and let anyone who cares follow my love of the wonderful hobby of collecting vintage (prewar mostly) baseball cards and it's related items. I'm planning on making this a place to post my recent pick-ups, talk about items that I would really like to own, showcase items that are up for auction that I think are very special. Basically anything that is related to early baseball cards and the history of the game.

I'm also getting more and more interested in the history of baseball in Jersey City, NJ. Particularly the Jersey City Skeeters of the Eastern and International Leagues. I'll be writing about this topic as well as I learn more of their history.

I have my collection currently online using a geocities free website and I've placed a link to it on the right side of my blog if you'd like to check it out. I may be changing it from geocities to another provider with more customizable options in the near future, so please check it out again from time to time.

I hope you enjoy following my love of this hobby as I continue to grow my collection and knowledge of not only the cards, but also the game of Baseball. Over the last 10 years or so, I have become increasingly more passionate about these things. I know there are a lot of others out there that are just as passionate, and even more so, than myself. I'd be happy to meet other collectors, so please feel free to drop me a line, leave a comment, or whatever.

Thanks for taking the time to share my passion.
