In 1952, like many young men, I started collecting baseball cards---putting my least favorite players in the spokes of my bike. Baseball cards and playing baseball were always important in my life, but the cards were put on a shelf while other life changes were underway, high school, girls, college, marriage, career, new family. In 1976 I hung up my baseball spikes to raise a family. It was during that time that I took those cards off the shelf and started participating in the St. Louis Collector's Club in St. Louis, Missouri and traveling with my family, to attend weekend baseball card shows.
Our set up at the baseball card shows were quite unique. I would be buying and trading, my wife, Jan, would be selling and our son, Tom, would be in his playpen behind the table charming the customers.
Our business continued to grow over the years and in 1998 we discovered eBay. We have expanded our baseball card inventory to include: non-sport trading cards, sports memorabilia, vintage paper, pins, books, uniforms and autographed photos. Fabulous finds over the years have allowed us to offer a variety of unique collectibles outside of the sports venue, including needle crafts (quilting and needlepoint), miniatures, and animal collectibles among other things. We offer our collectibles in both eBay auctions and our eBay store, WALNUT FOREST COLLECTIBLES. Jan and I hope you will browse our store and look for our auctions.
