Hello. I'm newly signed up and I'm looking to upload and catalog my extensive Lyman Bostock collection. Wondering if anyone has anything I might need. Thanks!

Welcome to the best trading card site on the planet - with UFO video recently released I don't know if our reputation extends to the universe.
You've started well by logging your collection, part two will be to use the TCDB system to add what you need (Wants), and then somewhat magically the system will connect you to many members who could help add to your collection. If you have any questions we're here to help, and don't forget to use the FAQ link at the bottom for some specific and generic information about the site.

I did upload a bunch of pictures. My main collecting focus is Pirates, but I'm really interested in the Bostock story and have collected quite a few unique items. I have numerous autographs and even a few custom cards that were made for me with tickets, cut autos, etc.

Ok, excuse the ignorance, but what's the significance of "pez" when it comes to Pirates? I know there's another member who collects Pirates and he has "Pez" in his ID. I'm curious.

I've used pezboy30 as an email or username for over 20 years. Not really sure about the other one. I collected pez when I was younger.

tell the story of how you came to have a PC of the tragic Lyman Bostock?

When I was young I found a few old Topps cards and Lyman Bostock was among them. It was his 1976 rookie card. I looked in one of my card catalogs and saw he only had 3 Topps cards and wanted to know why. I did a little research and sadly found my answers. I decided I wanted to collect him and keep his memory alive to anyone whoever asked me about him.
