New member from Socal

bruins · 02-17-2013, 03:12 AM

New member getting back into collecting baseball cards after a 25 year hiatus. My seven year old is crazy into baseball cards and he has rekindled my passion for collecting. New to me are the autos, relics, and the Bowman Draft/Prospect line. I've been lurking on the forums for a couple of weeks and there is some invaluable info. Thanks.

I've bought a few boxes: 2012 Bowman Baseball Draft Hobby, 2011 Bowman Baseball Draft Hobby, and 2012 Bowman Baseball Jumbo, with my best pull being a 2011 Bowman Draft Futures Relic Auto Jersey Bryce Harper Rookie /69.
I'm looking forward to participating in some case breaks.

Paul

Hey and welcome. I did the exact same thing. I grew up in OC as well. Where in OC are you? I collected from 79-86 or so. My Dad was a huge collector. I didn't even care about cards until Dad passed away a few years ago and I inherited everything. That got me hooked again. I was equally as surprised by the way the industry changed. There's an interesting book called Mint Condition. They guy is a journalist and went through a similar experience.
