Yesterday, I made a very brief mention of how May 11 was the anniversary of the Mets bringing Willie Mays back to New York to finish out his career. The Giants traded the legendary slugger for Mets pitching prospect Charlie Williams plus a bag of cash equalling $50,000. After looking up 1972 Mets ticket stubs […]
Happy Easter, everyone. I couldn’t resist. I’d actually been saving this card for months just for this post. By the way, I sort of begrudgingly admire how well the previous owner of this card was able to match Luke’s skin tone to cover up that paper loss at the bottom. Well done, sir. Hopefully you […]
I was hoping to finish this series of posts up before I went on that mini-hiatus for the birth of my daughter, but I didn’t quite make it. Just to refresh your memory, since it’s been a spell, a while back I had spent about what I would’ve on a modern day blaster box at […]
I’ve got a busy day today. Last week was my sons 2nd birthday, but today is his big party. A pizza party, in fact. But before I run off to get drunk at a 2 year old’s birthday party, here’s a card. 1954 Topps #6 Pete Runnels Here’s a 1954 Topps card of Pete Runnels, […]

No. That’s not a post title based on an old b-movie title. The 6 for $5 bin at the old local card store where I’ve picked up many a vintage goodie is no more. Talking to the owner, he said it was getting too hard to keep replenishing it on a steady basis, so they […]
Since I’ve already showed the very first card acquisition of the new year, I figure I probably should show the very last card acquisitions of last year. Hell, I probably should’ve showed it before I showed the new years new cards, but if I didn’t do things just because I should’ve done them before, I’d […]
Todays Card of the Moment comes to us courtesy of Sportlots. I got this sucker a while back while trolling through the virtual quarter bin, as is my wont. I had actually gotten 6 or 7 cards from the same set, in similar condition, all for the low bargin price of 75¢. 1954 Topps #46 […]
