My Story

I began collecting BASEBALL CARDS as a kid, I played all sports and eventually started collecting FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY CARD as well.  I never really got started on basketball cards but picked up a few on the way.  I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin but lived out in the county.  I remember riding my bike into town and picking up a few packs of BASEBALL CARDS here and there for 5-25 cents a pack, wow, have things changed.  I wish I took better care of my cards as a kid but I was mostly in it for the gum!  I managed to save some cards along the way but they are pretty beat up.  But they are mine and I still enjoy the memories.

My heart is still in the vintage era and I prefer to collect older cards of the guys I grew up knowing. (NOLAN RYAN, RIPKEN JR. AND RICKEY HENDERSON FOR BASEBALL, BOBBY ORR, GORDIE HOWE AND WAYNE GRETZKY FOR HOCKEY, FOOTBALL "THE PACKERS")  I took about 10 years off from collecting and started up again in the early 90's.  probably like most of us my age.  The craze (thanks to GRIFFEY JR.) led me to store up a huge collection, so I opened a CARD SHOP  and also hit the tour buy travelling all over doing card shows.  I still work full time and I had to eventually close the shop due to lack of time that it takes to devote to the HOBBY and customers and the show scene.  I had a great time doing it and developed freindships because of it.  Now I see kids that used to come into the shop and they are grown up, married and good people.

I got back into the market through eBay.  A friend of mine from work and I were talking one day about CARDS and the internet.  I went online to eBay and started buying a few things and eventually tried selling.  I started with some of my CARD SHOP inventory, Mainly MAGIC THE GATHERING cards (I had a bunch form the card shop)  I was nicely suprised at the sales.  I moved into a few of my sports cards and had a hard time parting with them.  I found some attatchment to them and to this day I have a hard time listing the oldies, so I have most of them tucked in to my own collection.  Maybe someday I may have a change of heart and start selling them (my wife would appreciate that). 

I started buying NEW CARDS, Mostly HOCKEY and BASEBALL again around 2001.  Most of what you will find in my eBay store http://stores.ebay.com/Ice-Hockey-Plus is from this era.  I do pick up some cards every now and then from more vintage eras and put them on.  I started with my user ID of 2001cardseller and recently change it to ice-hockey-plus-2001cardseller to better suit my store name.
