Hello - similar story to many others, collected sports cards as a kid, left them as a teenager and picked them back-up in my late 20s.  In parallel was a big UFC fan as early as first PPV VHS tapes we rented and watched often.  Off and on with collecting - missed out on Topps UFC round 1 but collecting as of round 2, with sport starting BJJ soon.  Really brilliant site btw by the gentleman from Iowa - super gracious of you, hopefully flowing some positive karma your way bro.
