OK, I admit it

I collect some other stuff too, besides what's on
this website. Sooner or later, I'll get them all up
here.
I collect 1936 R311 premiums. I have 17 of 'em, and all I care about is what the fronts look like. I had a couple and then I had Mickey Cochrane slabbed by SGC in the new oversized holder, and I fell in love. Eventually I'm going to have them all slabbed, and then I may hang them all on shelves in my office.
I collect 1973 Topps 1953 Reprints. Reluctantly. I used to be a '53 Topps guy. I bought a few of these as a companion piece, and then I let them go. Thanks to my friends Anthony and Bruce, who keep giving me the cards, I'm one card short of having a complete set, despite only having bought two of the cards.
I collect 1939 R303s and 1936 R344s. Mostly because I think the R303s are gorgeous, and both those and the R344s are related to the 1938 Goudeys.
And then I have another thing I collect, sort of in secret. I'm afraid to talk too much about them, because I pretty much scarf them up whenever I see them. They're fairly obscure - not TOO obscure, but obscure enough that people don't chase them. I know a few type collectors who have one or two, but none that actively chase them like I do. Each time I find another one is like a small victory for me - and I've found four new ones in the last month.
And no, I'm not telling what they are.
