So, I saw that my profile says I joined in 2019, but in researching my twitter DM's  I see that my first contact was in 2013.  At that point I was reaching out with a Nate Roberts Bowman Platinum Auto I had pulled to offer it up.    So I get a few extra years of seniority in here somewhere. 🙂   I typically will only buy in with a Detroit team (Tigers/Lions/Red Wings), as besides my personal collection I uses cards to build starter collections that get auctioned off as a fundraiser for the United Way.  Nothing like putting a hit or two in a basket to draw attention and a bunch of commons for kids to get started with.  Shortly after I started participating I found that someone was usually beating me to the Tigers, so I was only participating sporadically when I managed to get in on a break, or I really needed cards for a basket auction and sat on breaks.  With working from home with the COVID-19 Pandemic, I've had more time in front of my personal computer even while working, so I've been able to get in on more breaks.   I'm always interested in Detroit cards as well as the cards of current or former Michigan Wolverines.

My favorite card is attached.  It's not in very good shape, but it's what I have.
