I picked up some pretty nice cards on eBay over the last week or two. What with the Blizzard of ’09 and general holiday nuttiness, I haven’t had a chance to post them until now. First up, we have a 2008 Goudey John Maine Jersey. Ahh, the good old days, last year, when I still […]

So this is step 2 in trying to clear up the pile of things that have been sitting on my desk for the last few days. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been making a conscious effort to follow football this year, as a way to take my mind off of the debacle that was the […]

Seems like my blog has been taken over by the Post-Season Hootenanny lately. I mentioned last week that I had a post in the works involving Coney Island, Frenchmen, a Hall of Famer and a stupid plastic bag. Well, let me explain. First, what’s with Coney Island and the French? French fries from Nathans? No, […]

Funny how marketing can totally change one’s perspective of things, innit? I’m almost done with getting my most recent acquisitions posted. After this, I just have one more trade, […]

Recently, I’ve been in the process of trying to add some sort of physical organization to my collection. I don’t have the worlds biggest collection by any means, but I still own a few thousand cards, spanning over 75 years. That’s a lot of cards to organize, especially when you only have a few minutes […]
