Greetings,

      And Thank You for taking the time to visit my Ebay auction. My name is Drake and I have been a collector of Sports Cards since 1982. But before I was collecting Baseball cards I used to love collecting old US stamps when I was in grade school. I remember a really cool hobby shop that dealt in various US and foreign stamps back at that time and it was truly a great experience for me. Unfortunately, none of my friends collected stamps so one day a friend of mine named Mark offered to trade me his entire baseball card collection for my stamp collection....I pretty much got ripped off but that ended up becoming my starting point for collecting cards. Over the years as a teenager I was able to accumulate a super card collection and I ended up with the finest collection by just my Sophomore year in High School. Being broke all the time at that age was rather frustrating so in 1987 I ended up selling my entire card collection to a local card dealer for $2300.

      After getting out of collecting for nearly 5 years I decided to start back up in 1991. The market had changed quite a bit since the 1980's and with so many inserts and card brands I was somewhat not in touch with the market, thus I ended wasting alot of money on what is by today's card standards worthless card issues. Through the 1990's I owned and operated several card shops down here in Corpus Christi, Texas before finally settling on just one store that continues to operate to this very day. Back in 2001 I set up an account with Ebay and have been buying and selling on this site ever since then under this User ID. As an established seller I can assure you that anyone who buys from me will be treated like a VIP as that is the way I expected to be treated when making a buying decision. I hope you have enjoyed this hobby as much as I have for most of my life.

Anyways, Thanks again for taking the time to share some of your time with me!

Regards,

Ct. Drakeula
