Tom Schaumleffel is a hobby reseller of mainly sports cards and collectibles with an eBay store that has sold over 80,000 sports and non-sports cards as well as hundreds of sports memorabilia and collectibles just in the past few years. He started his collecting journey as a young child tagging along with his Dad and siblings to card shops and shows around the country. He also played a variety of sports as a young man in baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and roller hockey, which kept his passion for sports burning hot. He continues to challenge his love of football by competing in a no holds bar family fantasy football league over the last decade, including securing a back-to-back family championship title. He is also the author of Generational Odyssey: A Father's and Son's Journey from Hobby to Business, a journey with his Dad to help sell a life-long collection of sports cards and memorabilia while exploring the similarities and difference between the two generations, the baby boomer and the millennial. This is just the first book in this series. He spends his days pouring over sports card and his nights as the friendly ""ghost"" watching over a luxury high rise building and the people inside. He lives just outside of Columbus, Ohio in the heart of the sports world tucked between Canton, Ohio where the NFL was founded and Cincinnati, Ohio where the first professional baseball team originated from. The Midwest has a long-storied history of sports, sports card shops, and sports card shows.
