Hobby leader in Banknotes, Coins, Fantasy Note & Comics

Dedicated to the Hobby and its Collectors

Ever since I was a child I had an interest in collectible things. My older brother, Mike, collected stamps and coins and I guess this would be my first exposure, around 5 years old, to collectibles.

Coins and stamps were nice, but my main lifelong collecting passion came when I received a real foreign Banknote in a box of cereal inside a special wrapper. It was Sugar Crisp cereal and the Banknote was a 1964 Indonesia 1 Sen note. I didn't know the information about the note really at the time but later on learned this. At this time I was also collecting sportscards as well. I would pick up coins at flea markets where my parents often went. As years went by I continued collecting banknotes and others, added in comics and gaming cards, like Magic the Gathering.

I love creating fantasy banknotes and prefer animal collectibles as they are my greatest interest. I am proud to have been one of 25 people to be elected to the eBay Hall of Fame in 2020 but I think Etsy may be the place that shares my passion more
