Hi all.

Just getting back into the hobby. I collected baseball and basketball as a kid 1992 - 1999. Just got back into it this March after my sons asked to open some old storage containers. We found some great 90s inserts (Jordan Competitive Advantage, some Holoview Heroes, etc.).

After doing a bit of research, I sent them into be graded by PSA and am waiting to get them back.

I'm still learning. Right off the bat, I bought some 2023 Topps Series 1 Jumbo Boxes. Learned quickly that there's minimal ROI in ripping backs. Tried some group breaks. That was a big fail as well.

So now I've bought some 125 singles off eBay of players that I like.

Looking forward to being a part of the community!

Jeff
