Zach and Porter here! Father and son combining junk wax with a new age of collecting. Base cards still matter and so does the love of the hobby. We love the White Sox & Chicago Bears. We operate on a budget so we try to focus on PWE trades to maximize our monthly trade allowance. With that said we stick to trading in the US. Thank you for understanding
Porter and I recently started our own YouTube channel in order to share our love for collecting. Please watch and subscribe here Zach and Porter
