In 1989 I was born, so my collecting life is short at the moment.
I am 23 years old and have seen lots of collectables over the short years of my life. My family is collectors and traders. Everything from guns, coins, knives, diamonds, and antiques. If you ask me about any of these, i can tell you.
I have been trading since I was 5, grandpa taught me how to wheel&deal from a young age and we still do it to this day. I am with him everyday for the most part. Every weekend and most weekdays we trade and buy. I remember me buying old Parker Brothers shotguns at the age of 8. I purchased a 20ga Parker DHE and a local show. Most people thought it was grandpa buying it for me but a few knew it was my trading money. Now i have upgraded my collection greatly since then. I have always bought quality over quantity and it has done me well. I have built my collection gained on knowledge from others and my own experiences.
I never got into gas and oil until about a year and a half ago. Purchased a Mobilgas PPP from a local sale and that got me started. Now my Mobil and Sinclair collection builds almost daily with an influx of packages to my door. I can't stop reading up on companies and i have become more knowledgeable in this area of the collecting world. I am no expert in the field of Petroliana but I can tell about a few companies.
I am an unemployed college graduate and I still make ends meet and have time and funds to collect. I am out of debt thanks to the lessons I learned awhile ago on how to make your money work for you. I am a horse-trader and have been for the past 18+ years. If you think because I am young that i am dumb, well try me.
