Later on tonight, I will be doing something that I haven’t done in a crow’s age. I will be sitting on a couch, drinking a beer and watching LIVE METS BASEBALL!!! Granted, it’s spring training baseball and granted I won’t be home until about a half an hour after the game starts so most likely […]

Just a quickie today. These are a couple of cards I recently snagged from eBay. First up is a Hammerin’ Hank All-Star that has seen better days. At least whoever owned this previously had the respect to not put tape all the way across Henry’s face. The back of this card is a bit more […]
