I major in collecting Jeff Bagwell cards, but I minor in Craig Biggio, Lance Berkman, Roy Oswalt, Billy Wagner, and Roger Clemens (In an Astros Uniform only). Some may ask why so many players, but with only 2 card shops for me to visit and go through up here in Idaho, they dont exactly have a lot of Bagwells I actually need. So I collect the other Astros too (even though Berkman and Oswalt arent Astros anymore).<br />
<br />
I have 2000 Bagwell cards, with around 500 duplicates that are sitting in my closet. So I joined here hoping to find other Astro collectors that I could trade with. Seems like a shame to have that many cards and not help someone else fill their collections. My favorite card would have to be my 1993 Topps Finest Refractor. Back when I first started collecting that card was around 1200 dollars. I never thought I would own it. But the market fell on most cards and I was able to score it for 80 bucks. My other favorite is my Leaf Certified 1 of 1. Jim at my local shop got one in, and he immediately called me up. Thats what makes a good card shop. Personal connections with the customer.<br />
<br />
I recently made a site for my collection called <a shape="rect" href="http://www.TheBagwellCollector.com" shape="rect">www.TheBagwellCollector.com</a>. Feel free to stop by. I mainly made the site as a way to display my collection, and it comes in handy when I'm at the card shop and dont remember if I have a card or not. I just log on at the shop and find out! I may make a doubles/trading page soon.<br />
<br />
I hope to hook up with other Astro collectors out there!
