About
I’ve been involved with baseball and baseball cards since the early 70’s. The first cards I can remember getting were the ugly 1972 Topps cards. But oh did I have some good ones. Didn’t the 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente card have an awesome picture? Through the years I stayed in with baseball cards until around 1984… then I faded out until 1987. 1987 turned out to be a mediocre year to return in my mind as that is about the time that all the card companies really over produced. I had TONs of 1987 Topps cards. My favorite player at that time was rookie from the Cubs named Rafael Palmeiro. I gobbled up tons of his rookie cards from Topps and Donruss. I knew that he was a better player than Will Clark but no one else believed me. Well… who knows what to believe with him now. I know I felt completely duped when he tested positive… but something in me still wants to believe it was rigged.
Regardless, I ran this site as a baseball card store for about 5 years from 2002 through 2007. Lately I’ve just not had the time or interest to maintain it as a store, so I decided to take the blog approach. I’ve got lots to say about baseball and baseball cards — so I think it will be a much better site this way. You may not like what I have to say about either topic, but I would expect that it will be entertaining to most.
