New member re-descovering the fun of collecting

TXRunner · 10-12-2022, 12:39 PM

New member to the boards here. Grew up as a big collector of baseball cards and Garbage Pail Kids. But as I grew older, my focus and funds were directed elsewhere. As my son started growing up, he started getting into baseball cards and Pokemon. Like many others, during the pandemic we started getting back into collecting. We were usually just collecting baseball cards or Pokemon whenever we could find them. Lately he has been more focused on baseball cards and I have gotten back into Garbage Pail Kids and along with the WWE Select series. There is also a baseball player that my son played with in high school that is on his way to the pros and I have started to pick up some of his cards. Looking forward to learning more about all the different card collections on this board.

Welcome. That isn't far off how I got back into collecting. Who is the player?
