Here we go.....round 1

This could be the start of a very interesting ride.  So bear with me as I figure this out to make it work.  I've dabbled in the reading side of the blog-o-sphere for a few months and have considered this step the more I get involved with my hobby.  Some may call it an obsession, but to me it's about relaxation, fun and, of course, the thrill of the big hit.  The enjoyment of collecting cards has been with me since cards were purchased for me starting in 1971.  I spent 1971 through 1980 collecting and re-started in 1982.  I collected baseball and hockey but stopped the hockey collecting in the early 2000's.  I will slowly begin to post a list of what I currently have, my wants and maybe I can make a few more trades with some great collectors.

I'll start going backwards with 2012 as the 2013 collecting season has just begun and the amount of cards purchased is limited.  I am looking to complete all sets including inserts if possible.  I have the same to trade.
