What would you like to tell us about yourself, your collecting, or business.

I'm an passionate collector of almost anything pertaining to the Civil War, this is my main interest in collecting, but I also have a special interest in collecting anything tied to President Lincoln and his assassination (as morbid as that might sound, but I assure you it's all in good taste), as well as anything else that holds significant historical value. I also have an interest in collecting crime/mobster memorabilia, most especially anything pertaining to "Bonnie & Clyde". It's also my belief that I have one of the biggest and most complete collections of memorabilia pertaining to the O.J Simpson murder trial, or as some would call "The Trial of the Century" with that being said, I also have a limited interest in collecting some sports memorabilia

Why do you collect?

It's always difficult for me to explain this answer, but I had a pretty rough time transitioning back from my 2nd deployment to Afghanistan. Collecting gave me something that I could fully put myself into again, I love the feeling one gets when you come across an absolutely amazing item that you just can't believe is available for sale, and that feeling you get when it arrives at your door. I never thought I could be so happy to see the mailman coming up the street, Ahaha. Long story short, I love everything that collecting entails, and what it has done for me. As corny as this might sound to some people, but I believe collecting has literally saved my life
