Hello, I am Mike of the Mike n' Mandy's. I been trying to decide how I wanted to run this blog, but then I thought it's not that complicated. I love sports cards and I have a goal to have my own brick and mortar shop in the near future.
For me, collecting sports cards all started one day in 1989 when I went to the grocery with my Mom. As she was checking out at the register I think she noticed I was looking at the baseball cards sitting next to candy. It was 1989 Topps Baseball. She let me get a pack that day. And I will always remember that pack distinctly. One card I remember pulling was a 1989 Topps Tommy John. The card sticks out in my mind because of the surgery that was called "Tommy John Surgery". Later on that year for Christmas my parents bought me a Baseball Card Collector's kit. The kit came with an album and 25 pages, along with some packs to rip. And that was the beginning for me. My collecting has had slow times and times that I really got into it. The nostalgia of the junk wax still gets me excited.
Tell me about your first experience collecting trading cards, sports or non sports.

Thks, Michael I actually don’t remember getting the cards at the store BUT I do remember getting the album and stuff for that Christmas, long time ago. Love you son. Hope you can prosper from your hobby
