More Information: The Rounders Collection

It began, as many baseball card collections do, with a boy in the 1950s buying packs of cards with friends. But while others flicked their cards against walls and attached them to their bicycle spokes, he winced at the damage. Cards were treasures meant to be preserved in the same pristine condition as when a pack was first opened.

Fast forward three decades to the 1980s and an alarming phone call from his mom -- "I’m cleaning out your old stuff from your room, including all these baseball cards." That call reignited a dormant passion, transforming a boyhood pastime into a lifelong pursuit.

This journey continued in the decades since, evolving through flea markets across the Carolinas and Virginia, Southern card shows with Marco Rol, and eventually to the digital frontier under the handle ‘Rounders2.’ Leveraging skills honed as a textile industry executive, he used his keen eye and astute attention to detail to assess tiny blemishes and ensure perfect color registration. As the grading industry emerged, he proactively pursued grading specifications with experts to deeply understand what qualities defined each grade. His precision-driven passion made him a fixture in the card-collecting community.

The result is a carefully curated, world-class collection demonstrating a love of the game's history and a deep appreciation for some of the most creative and beautiful cards. This overall collection and the sets within it were pieced together card by card, traded, and upgraded over the last forty years. His pursuit of perfection and talent for identifying cards that grade well and appreciate in value make this a one-of-a-kind collection, including high grade Hobby classics like 1933 Goudey Gehrig & Ruth, a T206 collection comprised of many stunning, high grade and low pop examples from the expansive and beloved tobacco card set, a 1964 Topps Standup collection that is the #2 Current Finest (and #3 All-Time Finest) on the PSA Registry and an extensive collection of baseball card wax packs from the 1950's through the 70's featuring packs from every year between 1953 and 1979.
