Who am I, and why do I collect sports videos?

My name is Chip Mundy. I was born in 1955 (you figure out how old I am), and I have lived in Jackson, Michigan, all of my life.
 
I am a sports writer for the Jackson Citizen Patriot and have been in sportsjournalism for more than 20 years.
 
I've always been as interested in sports history as I have been of current sports, so it was a natural to collect games, documentaries, highlight films, etc. It has always seemed to me that this was the "hidden gem" in sports collecting. Why pay for a piece of cardboard with a photo of a baseball player on it when you can actually watch him perform on video?
 
Anyway, this web site is to inform those interested of what I have in my collection. I am willing to trade, but I also must warn those serious collectors that when I started doing this, I never intended to trade. (I never dreamt anyone else would do this). So, a large majority of what I have was recorded in SLP mode.
 
For those just browsing, have fun.
