I am a longtime hobbyist, seller, and buyer of modern & vintage sports cards and a small number of collectable coins. More than a decade ago, I decided to break from being a highly active eBay seller and buyer to prioritize my time on a set of very clearly defined educational and professional goals. I'm incredibly thankful for having successfully done what I sought to accomplish during my time away. As a reward, I have the ability to resume a hobby I paused to make that happen.
