Tom Ruggie’s Passion for Collecting Fuels His Desire to Help Others Protect What They Cherish

Tom Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP® started collecting autographs as a boy outside the dugouts during Spring Training in Florida. Tom has now amassed what PSA calls, “One of the most impressive autographed baseball card collections in the hobby.” And that’s only a small part of his overall sports memorabilia collection. This passion for collecting also extends to significant wine and pop culture collections.
