until now, that is. VERY pleased to announce I was one of Beckett's 15 "supercollectors" they are featuring in this month's Sports Card Monthly.

Pleased, surprised and honored, no less...so here goes

Wow that's a nice Titans collection. I espically like that you live in Nashville and collect the Titans, I bet you don't miss many titans yardsales.

Love the article and the picture.
Do you have any Michael Roos game-used items?
He hosts his Fish & Chips fishing and golf tournament every year, and I'd love to get him to sign something game-used.

Also, let me know if you have anything you want me to have signed for you.
I'd be happy to get that done for you.

Thanks y'all!

@Alex - I only have a glove and it's already signed, but I see him a lot. Really nice guy.

I'll post links to my photobucket and youtube stuff tonight.

Congratulations Preston. I thought about submitting my collection to Beckett but never got around to it. My friend owns a card shop and I always check out the Super Collectors section to see what other people collections are like.

Preston-very impressive! Your Titans collection is outstanding and the article is very cool.

How did you get your story in Beckett? I would love to have my 49er collection in the "Super Collectors" section of the magazine someday. If you have a chance please shoot me an email with any contact information for Beckett that you may have. I would really appreciate it!

What time frame does your collection span? Do you focus on Titans gamers primarily or does your collection include helmets as well?

You may have seen some of my collection posted on GUU and if you think that Beckett would agree that it is of super collector quality then i think it would be fun to have it profiled.

Always buying 49er gamers and ALL GU 1994 49er gamers!

I think you would have an excellent chance of being the next forum member to be named a Super Collector. You not only have the numbers but also the name players when people think of the 49ers.

I appreciate it bud!

They had a supercollector issue they mentioned on twitter so I submitted it and got lucky! I'd love to get some game helmets and am in the process of working on a couple, so we'll see!

I've corresponded with their editor Chris Olds on twitter primarily - I found him by his name - and colds@beckett.com I believe is his email address.

There was a guy who collects New York Giants, but a lot of it was player collectors and one was a Dr. Doom sketch card collector...which to me was the odd duck in the room.
