Hi everyone! I'm Kevin and I'm from North suburban Chicago, Illinois. I l collect singles and decks. I started collecting in the late 1960s and early '70s, but stopped trading for a while. My mother was a member of the PCCA and a charter member of CPCC. By the time that I renewed my interest in trading, I learned that Bernice De Sommer had passed away. I remember her, among many others. I found out about 52 Plus from the CPCC people, who were no longer entertaining members having decided to merge members. I am unsure where all of those members went, if any. I collect both singles and decks, but my emphasis has tended to be on singles. I am currently interested in expanding the whiskey, spirits, beer, wine, pin up, narrow name, and old wides, but am open to other categories. I have many dupes in nearly all categories, especially travel, but have a suitcase or two full of singles in the form of decks, etc. to trade. Many of the decks date back to when I stopped trading.
If anyone is collecting singles in the above preferred categories, or has other categories of interest, let me know. I am open to trading 25 for 25, but someone with sensitivity to what is being exchanged. I am certainly open to trading over the long run and want to see cards exchanged. Something, that I not seen since I renewed my interest. I've only had one member contact me, but his interests were very limited.
