thegccollection 👑

I started collecting in 1986 after nearly fist fighting my older brother for a 1986 Donruss Dwight Gooden in the backseat of a Honda Civic. My first job was at Terry's Comics and C+C Baseball cards in Brooklyn, NY at the rip old age of 11. I returned to the hobby in 2010 and have kept a two simple collecting guidelines in focus since. First, would 6-15 year old Greg think the item is cool. Second, cover the grade and find the prettiest copy for my budget. I remember sifting through stacks of a card back in the 80s and narrowing down my pick based on my eyeballs alone. Why change that now because there is a sticker with a number on the plastic lol? I focus mostly on vintage, IP signed Michael Jordan and post war through 1980s baseball. I also collect comics from Golden Age Batman, Silver Age Marvel Keys and Bronze and Copper Keys. When not collecting I also enjoy bodybuilding, competing in the Classic Physique division, and Muay Thai. Much less dangerous than spending time on Heritage and Goldin ;)
