Quick Pics

Haven't done a semi-random picture post in a while, so... here's a few pictures I've taken recently:

Happy 10th birthday, Chris. Lol, I got a steal of deal with this Orioles SLU lot. I'd been looking for some plastic protectors for the figures already in my collection (my rare figures are in old, dusty, yellowing bubbles) and one seller wanted $35 for five brand new protectors. I bought a lot of five figures as shown - with the (used) protectors for $35 instead. The Pro Set boxes were $55 total for the pair.

My 666th post recently reached an appropriate comment/view count:

I'm really struggling with this latest Athletics post. Not because I don't know what to write, but because I'm writing too much! I'm a thousand words in and 900 of them have been about Rickey Henderson. I'm not even close to discussing the Bash Brothers. Sigh... I need an editor...

Dennis will appreciate this... I saw this at a sports store in the mall back home this weekend:

First of all, who in their right mind is paying $80 for Alexei Ponikarovsky's autograph? And second.. um.. why is Stevie Y signing Devils pucks?

Jon came across an old postcard from my home town on eBay (not this one) and thought I'd be interested. I showed it to my mom as I happened to be visiting said home town and she told me that Babe Ruth once played on this field. I knew that.. but there was more I didn't know that might interest someone reading this. It was converted to a racetrack, which my mom worked at as a teenager. But in between that time, the field was named after Tigers pitcher "Wild" Bill Donovan - who is credited as "popular Yankees manager" in this article 🙄

It took us five hours to get home from Connecticut because of a major accident (and a flash flood).

Don't know how we could have gone any slower

But when I got home, there was a flat rate box of cards waiting for me.

Anyone building the 2024 Topps Chrome baseball set? Let me know what numbers you need.

Thanks for reading!
