In 1995, Dalbol began serving with the Air Force and after that signed up with the North Dakota Air Guard in 1999, where he still serves today. That is where the familiar story continues with college, work, and a household.

Bisio would love to give back to the Pastime and help new collection agencies learn what it was like before the internet and social networks. “These cards are not simply items of cardboard to me … They are 31 years of memories – Good, Bad, and Ugly. They are my life’s work and things that I will leave for my household when I’m gone. They stand for all that was and has been great in my life and something that I desire quite to show my children someday,” stated Bisio.

I was currently an enthusiast of my favored team (Oakland Athletics) and player (Mark McGwire), yet as my gathering grown, I desired to expand right into vintage card gathering.

What Marco Bisio Jr. did have was a neighborhood card store only a five-minute stroll from his home. That card shop, Benefit Collectibles, was just one of his favorite areas which is where he saw his very first Beckett Publication.

I required more than just a player that had a couple of cards in between 1948 and 1980, yet they had to have a tale that spoke to me.
