• Elusive '80s cards ... really? Part 2This is the continuation of a series I started in February, about how that even for the 1980s, there are elusive cards for team collector types. I went through what I still need from sets issued between 1980-83 in the first post. Today I'm going through what I need for Dodgers from 1984-85. Yeah, just two years this time. The amount I need increases as the '80s progress. Who would've figured ...2025Read about Roy Campanella breaking news today -
• Serious business at less-than-serious pricesI am focusing on several card pursuits at once, per usual, and I hate how I drop one after a single purchase or two because my head turns for some hot "young" card thing (it's usually not "young," it's usually vintage). This is why I go so long between completing card sets. So, I tried to focus on the 1969 Topps chase for a little while and did well enough to get through about three purchases...2025See more World Series breaking news today -

• The other halfI stopped at the monthly card show Saturday. It was the second straight weekend card show I had attended. This would have been crazy talk in the first 10 years of my blog, but it's something that could easily happen two or three times a year now -- and if I wanted to do a little more traveling around the state, I might be able to go to a show nearly every week over the next six months. ...2025Check it out Fergie Jenkins news and rumors -

• Vintage cards are alive and wellI am back after a few days out of town for the holiday. During that time I engaged in no card things. There wasn't even an Easter card pack to open as there often is. That was very sad. Wandering in the wasteland stuff. But at least there was baseball on the TV. While waiting for a game to start, I was flipping aimlessly through channels, which is something I almost never do anymo...2024Continue with Matt Strahm injury status -
• More from the Braves collector who sure has a lot of DodgersJohnny's Trading Spot sent me a big box of Dodgers-and-such a little more than a month ago. It was so large that it took me three posts to go through.Well, apparently he wasn't done because another box of cards showed up a week or two ago. It was mostly Dodgers this time. As I've said before, Johnny sure has a lot of Dodgers for a Braves fan.I can tell he's cutting back -- maybe not enough f...2024See also Eric Gagne injury report -

• Joy of a Completed Set: 1957 Topps!I never owned a 1957 Topps card during my original stint as a card collector in the early 90s, with my modest smattering of vintage not stretching back further than 1969 or so. The first 1957 Topps card I acquired was a year or two after I had returned to the hobby, scoring myself a beat-up, miscut Mickey Mantle for $54 in November 19, 2013 (still have the email receipt). Over a decade later, Octo...2024See also Mickey Mantle -
• The Boys of SummerThe original Dodgers One of the first books I ever read, The Boys of Summer, is a baseball classic written by Roger Kahn, published in 1972. The book was probably my father's, as he was a Dodger fan as a young man. Even now, at 83, my father can recite the Dodgers lineup, position by position, complete with colorful anecdotes about each player. I often wondered how a poor boy from western Kansas g...2024See also World Series contract -

• Elusive '80s cards ... really? ReallyI have written many times that I view cards from the 1980s as the most accessible. The hobby was booming, "artificial rarity" was barely a thought, cards were plentiful.
