Hello fellow eBayers. My name is charliechin but you can call me Chuck. I'm your typical, middle aged, suburban, product of the 60's American male who loves good food, sports, friends,  music, my wife, children, grandchildren, teaching U.S. History and oh yes, collecting things. Back in the late 50's, early 60's, I started collecting old U.S. coins that I found in change. Next, I began to buy coins at the local coin shop. I put together a nice little collection. Well then I got into sports, girls, college, etc. so the coins were packed away in the closet.

It wasn't until many years later that I rediscovered the enjoyment of coin collecting from the mid-70's to the mid-80's. But unfortunately in the late 80's, high prices, over-graded coins, slabs, etc. drove me out of coins and into the fine hobby of sports card collecting which I first enjoyed back in the late 50's & 60's. Boy, I really got into it, buying all and everything that I could afford.

Well, in the late 90's, high prices, over-graded cards, slabs, etc. began to drive me out of the card collecting and into the realm of a newly discovered hobby of "electric football". I had played this as a kid but now this was "big time". I went back to Mom's house, took out the old Tudor set, dusted it off and turned on the switch to be greeted by the familiar hummmmm of the game board. I still had several teams with the set and after some research, found out that they were now collectors items. Well, to make a long story just a little shorter, I spent about five years buying, selling, trading, playing, living electric football. About a year ago, I was busy trying to make some room for my 50+ NFL teams and 12 Tudor #620 gameboards when I again came across my old coin collection.
