how long a race fan: since 1990
how long collecting : truly since 2002
who got you into racing: my classmates in my apprenticeship class
what got you into collecting: was working out of town and drove by a card shop in lower pa. stopped in the same day 2002 eclipse made its debut. i have been hooked since. pulled my first race used (tony stewart car cover) and firts auto (aj and larry foyt dual auto)
favorite driver: reed sorenson, i met him here in erie during his asa rookie year, had a chance to get an auto and chat, he ran real well for a young lad and was very respectful of all the fans and a very pleasurable person to tlk with.
favorite track: i would say bristol, but that is too easy, to be honest i really like kentucky speedway and nashville speedway, and love williams grove speedway and lernerville speedway
favorite racing moment: ernie irvans dramatic comeback win at michigan.
hobbies: hunting, coaching alex in basketball and soccer
collecting habits: well i try to collect three of each card made of reed sorenson, but as you know i am a sucker for different color schemes to my cards. all my cards are in three ring binders in nine pocket pages.
summary of collection: have over 40 authentic autographs, 140 raceused, every base, insert, all but one serial numbered, all but 5 previews, all but 2 autographs, and every raceused card produced of reed. i have 3 1/1 cards, 6 with #41 in the serial number.
favorite item in collection: this is tough. i have so many great reed cards, autoed die cast, autoed hats and autoed postcards, but if i had to pick just one, it would be the 1/1 07 hot threads that the members here helped me obtain.
nuts testament: i have been involved with this site since its nuts version 1.0 hit the shelf, now an administartor here. being voted nuts first trader of the year, by a slim margin i might add, is my highlight of my experience here. it tells me how much my trades and service meant to those that voted for me. i am only a few feedbacks shy of hitting triple digits. i want to thank chris, for having the faith in me to do the job i do, to all the traders for the tremendous help in my collections and for just being my friends. i love this place and if we had a main color i would bleed that color, so i am gonna say our main color is red because i really only bleed red. lol
