Hi all - Been lurking for awhile and decided to join the party. Love the board and members!
How did you get into collecting reps?

My first rep was via a "backalley" deal in downtown Los Angeles almost 15 years ago. I was a lowly college student and heard that a store was selling fake Rollies for $20. Went to the store, had to get thru the "No, we don't sell those here's" and negotiated $15 for a full gold, Presidential. Needless to say, it was a piece of s**t. Someone advised me to even paint the gold on the watch with clear nail polish to keep the gold from flaking off!
I still have that watch to this day. It stopped working within 3 months of my purchase, but I still have it, by God!
