Hello from NY

Hey guys! New to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I just recently moved to NY from FL "Yeah Im crazy for that, I miss the sunshine and warmth ALOT". I've been here about 6 months now. I originally moved here to take care of my grandfather, he had his second stroke and hasn't been doing well at all. Well about 2 months ago, he took his last breathe w/ us, the strokes were just to much for his body to handle, its been pretty hard but were sticking together tight as a fam and making it through the hard times. I've always collected on a small scale, mostly basketball, as I'm a HUGE NBA fan! I'm a FL boy so I gotta roll w/ my Miami Heat :) The reason for me joining here is to hopefully meet new people w/ the same interests and also learn more about collecting. Before my grandfather passed, he handed down to me a HUGE collection of cards. MLB, NHL,NFL, NBA and Nascar, along w/ other various genre's. A year before he passed, we started a 1970 VW Bus project build. What I would like to do, is part w/ this collection and put it towards finishing this VW build. Me and my grandfather planned to build and drive this VW all the way to Cali and drive down the coast and just have a awesome time together. Well, I still plan to do that and I know he would be etremely happy to see this happen as VW Bus's and traveling were his true passion in life. I hope to soak up some knowledge here from others while also helping others out. Well, I'm gonna go check out the forum, I have LOTS or reading to do lol. Thanks for reading! :)
