The Hobby PhD

@the-hobby-phd

I am an industrial-organizational psychologist who is back into collecting sports cards after a long hiatus. Expect to find good positive fun here. I'll share my rips, my failures, and my wins in the hopes that you can learn from me as well. I'm just a man trying to stay on a budget. All are welcome! (Especially Astros fans. This is a safe place for you). If you check out my ebay store, be sure to message me and say you're a subscriber for deals and extras!
