• AfterglowI slept 9-and-a-half hours last night/this morning. I don't even come close to that kind of sleep most days now. Probably average around 7.

• Extra: I've completed another team setI wrapped up the Dodgers team set for 1961 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops with the arrival last week of the Johnny Podres card.

I acquired most of the cards from card shows, oddly enough -- they just don't seem appealing enough for collectors to have them o...2025Click for news about Jackie Robinson news and rumors -
• Card room tour 2025Five years ago I gave a photo tour of my then-new card room. The room made its debut in mid-2019 and by spring of 2020 it looked as I know it now. I thought it'd be a good time to show another update, five years later. I've long thought of doing a video tour of my card room, but: a) I am woefully inept when it comes to uploading video, etc.b) I say all the time that I have no time ...2025See more articles Vin Scully latest news -
