Member introductions

Hello,

I’m JohnE, and one of your newest members. Having played sports in my youth, and of course maintaining that interest as a spectator and collector of various memorabilia as the years progressed, I have always had an infinity for sports equipment. A long, long, while back, I began repairing old and new baseball gloves, and footballs as a hobby, and that hobby grew into a little side business which to me is, less of a business, and more so just a reason to play with sports equipment my wife could get behind (joking). My work in this area often brings before me some really nice old stuff, most of the time just long enough to repair or refurbish it, but every now and again, I do get an opportunity to pick up something sweet to work on for my own. However, I just don’t enjoy working on sports gear, I also like to put the time in learning about the history of each piece...and that’s what has brought here to this site. I’ve been on this site several times before in the past and I think it’s a really great site, as it’s always been as helpful as it’s been a place of education for me.
