November 27th, 2013 by slangon

Continuing with my effort to show off some cool cards that I’ve gotten in the last couple of months that have inspired me to get back on the blogging horse, here’s some random cards that I added to my collection in Baltimore of all places. Back in August, the wife and I took a long […]

Well, That Does It for This Year
October 29th, 2011 by slangon

Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals and all their fans on becoming the 2011 World Champions of Baseball. (Note to self: Next year, if the Rangers should make it to the World Series again, out of fairness to them and their fans, I SHOULD NOT ROOT FOR THEM. Even if their matched up against the […]

Dollars to donuts they’re probably much cooler than anything I’m going to get from that giveaway anyways. I ended up with 39 cards for around $20 with shipping. Not […]
