I've just spent the last 10-15 minutes admiring your collection, fantastic! I really enjoy watching someone posting their collection as it grows. I actually found myself thinking, "I hope he gets this card next ..." as I viewed the thread. I'm starting to think I got more excited about your additions than you did LOL!

Your enthusiasm in detailing how you acquired certain pieces throughout the thread perfectly illustrates why collecting should be about building a collection rather than some attempt to make money.

Thanks for the posts and sharing your collecting journey so far ... even if it is the Leafs! You have already acquired a number of sweet cards that most of us would love to have as part of our own collections. Good luck as you grow your collection. Cheers!
