Started collecting stuff as a kid in the 60's. Rock, Stickers, Matchbooks(found the rocks and stickers when I cleaned out my parent's home. Mom must have thrown out the matches) Bought a 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 when I turned forty.
Went to an auction to buy a Buick sign. Walked in the auction room and it was filled with signs for sale. I was mesmerized and hooked! Started buying signs, sold the Buick and the rest is history.
