Hello

Hi People.

I stumbled across this site while searching for how to collect Hall of Famer's autographs. I thought collecting those autographs would be a nice hobby (I already have eleven! from my younger collecting days).

I used to collect in the late 80s / early 90s. Mostly baseball, but a few basketball. And then I stopped. I recently moved and rediscovered my collection. I didn't forget about it, I just wasn't motivated to do anything about it -- Do I keep them? Do I sell or trade them? Do I give them out as Halloween prizes?

Favorite Player: Ryne Sandberg
Favorite Team: Cubs

Finally, reading some of the TTM autograph threads, has lit some kind of memory spark, and it was exciting to send those requests out, despite the possibility I may never see that card again. And reading the forum makes me want to do it again. Although, I do feel somewhat silly writing fan mail and requesting an autograph of someone 15 years my younger... I can't be the only one can I?

Anyway, happy to have baseball starting up again soon.

Probably depends what you have. The late 80s and early 90s are probably the most extreme in terms of value. Most stuff is absolute junk but some of it can be worth a lot.
