I am a UK based Baseball fan who fell in love of the sport whilst on Family holidays in the 90's. At that time it was the Atlanta Braves who seemed to be on TV alot in Florida but we went to a game at Al Lang Stadium, to see what became the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and my son and i got our first pack of Baseball Cards. I changed my allegiance to the Devil Rays but my son stuck and still is a Braves fan. Over the years have been to many games at the Trop including game 162 v Yankees but this came to an end due to Covid, my last visit to the Trop was Fan Fest in February 2020.My card collecting started with Upper Deck which was my preferred choice of cards and stayed with them until 2010.Since then have done some of the cheaper Topps sets but postage charges have stopped me purchasing boxes as it costs more for the postage than the cards!!!!!
Recently i have been using COMC to fill some of my wantlists as the shipping has been $4.99 per consignment but since Xmas picking and delivery times have been extended and i have 5 orders awaiting to be picked
D&A Cards have recently opened a store in Europe and now start shipping to the UK so hopefully cards will become available again.
Besides my sets wantlist i am always looking for Rays cards and also 2004 Diamond Kings #126 Adam Laroche Bat cards numbered to /50 or less.
