About me: "daddybeanie" has been my user name since the early days of ebay back in the 1990's. I was (and am) dedicated to my kids, and back in the day I scoured ebay for beanie babies--and travelled from shop to shop, befriending store owners and getting the hot beanie releases of the day. Same with Pokemon cards, Legos, books, coins, Russian nesting dolls, sports memorabilia, and too many other things to count. Eventually kids leave the nest, and I'm now selling off certain items to support new purchases for--you guessed it--grandchildren! As a Dad and a pediatrician, I tend to sprinkle some of my ebay listings with bits of advice for parents--please ignore those if they are not relevant or if you disagree! Thank you for visiting! Please stop by my ebay store--daddybeanie Books and Collectibles. Thank you for visiting!
