Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

Sorry Brett, I'm trying this on the big board. I thought it would be interesting to see what others collected or put a name to a face. If you're camera shy just posting is fine. Thought it would be fun to reintroduce myself because many changes have happened in my life both collecting wise and outside of gloves. Here ya go, a name to a face. Feel free to add to it if you want to show yourself or what you collect. JD, I'll add to your collector's corner too.
