About Me

About Me:
My Dad got me cards as a kid in the ‘70s, and the nostalgia of the hobby helps me reconnect with him 30 years since he has died. I went from being a card collector to being a fantasy sports writer for CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, MLB.com, NFL.com, USA Today and now, The Athletic.
In Search Of:
All those football cards I traded away when I was 11 for some dumb Star Wars figurines.
Personal Collection:
Old Buccaneers, Rays, Lightning and Magic players
Collecting Since:
1974
Hobbies Outside of the Hobby:
