1964 Topps #370 Hal Woodeshick Today’s Card of the Moment is a very well loved 1964 Topps card of Hal Woodeshick.

1963 Topps #40 Vic Power Have I mentioned that 1963 Topps is one of my favorite sets ever. Actually I’m pretty sure I have mentioned that. Actually, just because it’s a slow day at work and I’m apparently kind of crazy I went back and looked and saw that I mentioned that 1963 Topps is […]

Well, technically I’ve been back for 3 days now, but I had a spot of trouble getting out of vacation mode and back into posting mode. I was actually a little surprised about that. I generally try to post once a day, 6 times a week at the least. It’s never really a chore for […]

So depending on what time of the day you’re reading this, I will either be packing my stuff, sitting in the Tampa Airport (hopefully at the bar), somewhere 30,000 feet in the air or back at my house decompressing. Either way, this is the last of the pre-programmed posts. 1933 Goudey #9 Dave Harris I […]

This is the finale in the 3 blockbuster trades I made over the last week or two that did extensive damage to various wantlists. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me letting me know that he recently came across a box of beat up vintage cards and offered me some Mets from the box along […]
