bobkingcards
Welcome to Bob King's page!
Hi everyone and welcome. First off, a little bit about who I am. Currently, I'm just a collector, trying to obtain the earliest cards I can find of not-so-famous to superstar-type players in baseball from 1950 to the T206 cards of the early 1900's. I've had more lists of who I want to collect then I can count. From that lead in, quite a few I'd say. I'm now down to a handfull of cards that are desired by yours truely and hope to get all of them by my retirement age (in about 1 year or so). Then sell them, by means of the internet and/or card shows as a way of making "mad money" for my wife and I to travel on. At least that's the plan for now. My latest buying craze though is Bowman Chrome autograph rookie cards. Also, I have worked the last few years trying to obtain all the top rookies per Baseball America's 900 top prospects book. I also keep an eye on pre-war cards, recently purchasing Dom DiMaggio and Johnny VanderMeer cards from 1941. When it is time to sell, I want to be able to appeal to buyers of vintage as well as the lastest cards.Travel? You bet!
That's something my wife and I really like doing now that we are empty nesters. Any small town that has a baseball card shop or second hand shop is fair game for my "card sniffing nose". You'd be surprised what you can find in regards to sports related articles in antique shops. So bobkingcards is just something out there to think about while I "stock the shelves" with merchandise I purchase from e-Bay and elsewhere. Currently one of our spare bedrooms has been turned into "Cooperstown West" as we call it. Bookcases, shelves and wall mounting strips hold all of my collection for friends and family to see. It's fun to show others what I've collected and even more fun watching a buddies wife trying to remove them from of my "haven" after telling me how they saw "this guy or that guy play at Wrigley or Comiskey" when he was a kid. I tell you what gang, if you have a collection, display it! You won't regret it. Just be sure it's insured. Well, that's it for now. Catch you all on the flip side!
