    • In remembrance of Ryne Sandberg, a great baseball player and better human being
    Photo by Rich Pilling/MLB Photos via Getty Images Ryno’s gone way too soon. Let’s celebrate his Hall of Fame career and life. Ryne Sandberg means so many things to so many people that it’s impossible to wrap that up in one paragraph, or even one article. Nevertheless, I will try here to capture the love that Cubs fans feel for the man affectionately called “Ryno” for not only his play on t...2025

     A couple of months ago I ran a Dodgers card giveaway in hopes that collectors would both relieve me of some of my many, many dupes and also enjoy what I was sending. There wasn't much of a response. Four or five folks. Blogging giveaways aren't what they once were. Plus there are all those deluded Yankees and Giants fans who have yet to come to grips. What I did send made somewhat of a ...2025

    • Elusive '80s cards ... really? Part 2
    This 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 ...2025

    • Elusive '80s cards ... really? Really
     I 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. That, combined with being a very active collector of Dodgers cards, has given me a inflated idea of the '80s portion of my Dodgers collection: I HAVE THEM ALL! I never truly think that 100 percent, but part of me believ...2025

      It's my all-time favorite player Ron Cey's birthday today. He's 77. Yikes. The last couple of years I've been able to show a card that "matches" with his birthday. You know, 1975 Topps with 75 years old, 1976 Topps with age 76, etc. So this is his 1977 Topps card here. This was a big year for Cey and for me collecting him. Let's start with me. The '77 season was really my fir...2025

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).
