I’ve been collecting cards and sports memorabilia since 1966, and at that time I was seven years old. My older brother gave me the nickname of “ElginDuke”… Elgin, after Elgin Baylor from Seattle University fame, and Duke from the Duke of Flatbush.
Growing up in Seattle, my home team at that time was the Seattle Pilots Major League Baseball. As time went on we added the Mariners, Seahawks, and Super Sonics. I had season tickets for the Sonics, Seahawks, and Sounders. And after moving to Folsom, California, I’ve decided to sell all of my miscellaneous sports memorabilia, which includes, in the ballpark of 15,000 individual trading cards. Don’t ask me what I may have, because I truly can’t remember. The only time I know what I have is when I go into my storage and open a new box. For me, that is as much fun as opening a pack of cards I just bought yesterday. I’m looking to find them all a good home… One card at a time...
