Q 2. Kindly give us a brief description about yourself (it should include your brief educational or entrepreneurial background and list some of your major achievements).
Ans: It all started with baseball, collecting baseball cards, to be exact. My Brother Charles and I collected baseball cards as kids. Being from New York, the Yankees were de rigueur, of course. After moving to Miami in 1957, our grandfather continued the tradition by sending us wax boxes. Time went on and I left collecting behind for a bit, my brother kept up our tradition, and from time to time would invite me to go to a show. I don’t know how many times I turned him down, but eventually, I gave in and went to one with him to a Sports Collectibles Show in Miami. Just like that, I was transported back to our childhood and all of the joyful hours we spent collecting cards together. I was back, and it was a good thing. This childhood passion fueled an adult quest to be the best, to have quality baseball card collections, and to share them with everyone.
Q 3. What inspired you to (start a new business venture) or (to make significant changes in an existing business)? How did the idea for your business come about?
Ans: It did not take long before I realized that people were overwhelmed for connection with something greater than themselves, the past, the greats in sports and entertainment history. I still loved baseball cards, and I decided to branch out into more signature art displays of famous icons, something that people who love the unique and special can hang on their walls and tell stories about. Everywhere I went, the reception was incredible. There was a definite “Wow! factor” with my framed Art displays that included amazing photographs and signatures.
