Upstanding Member,
Without diving into too much detail, I received a nice message from a fellow HI member tonight who simply commented on my collection. A few words of appreciation and enjoyment but I must say that they're still sticking with me right now.
It's made me think about the tremendous amount of camaraderie I feel I've built and felt over my many.....many..............many years of collecting.
It's been almost 20 years since I grabbed a handful of Linden base cards from a monster box at a local show for 10 cents a piece....a landmark moment in my collecting life.
From the people at the shows I see (some maybe only once or twice a year) to those whom I haven't seen in over a decade (for numerous reasons) to the motley crew that envelop trade night offerings to the many people I've met both in person and online as a result of hobby boards like HI, building relationships.....camaraderie has been such an overwhelming aspect of my hobby enjoyment.
The fun in this hobby for me is a direct result of the positivity that is generated from all the great people I've met and chatted with over the years. I look forward to continuing that for many years to come.
Thanks for the comment tonight. (you know who you are)
