Derby Week in Louisville, took a couple of days off work and stopped by a LCS, digging through an oddball box found some Fleer Team variations and this little gem popped out - 1969 Al Kaline Nabisco Team Flakes!

Monthly card show with the grandson again this morning, lots of fun stuff found this morning! If anyone has info on the 1971 NBA puzzle please respond, there’s at least five different ones from what I see

Every now and again you can still find a bargain on eBay, oddball item in a giant graded holder less than a Blaster box

Once again Gio Gio/wthballs blog has out done himself, another edition so well done. ‘51 Blue Back Joltin’ Joe and the 1 of 1 is the single player ‘73 Schmidt rookie

Nice pickup from Trevor this week, great image of Yogi at Yankee Stadium

Card Show Saturday with the Grandson, little vintage there at all but loads of young guys working deals on new stuff, hobby seems to be doing well still, good to see! Question now is, do I chase this TCMA Postcard Set? 156 of them in total if I’m right.

Monthly card show with the Grandson, he’s learning the ropes of the Pokémon card world and I keep in my lane. Found these 1968 Stand Ups, some Minis and there was no way I was leaving behind Kojak and Crocker.

Nice mail day on a long worked on set, twenty received in. Leaves just seven to finish it off. 1951 Bowman Jets Rockets Spacemen, 73 years old, the kids buying these back then must be disappointed that we didn’t achieve more in space travel since then.

I’ll telling you all Gio Gio/wthballs blog is producing high quality work that is going to sought after by collectors in the coming years

🚨🚨FREE GIVE-AWAY ALERT🚨🚨 For the 4th year in a row to say thanks for another blessed year, I'll be giving away these 20 cards on New Years Day. I'll randomly select 20 folks who FOLLOW and RETWEET this tweet. Merry Christmas everyone.

The continuing project of adding a game program from the set year in a binder has another addition, 1976. The logos are fantastic, especially the National League Centennial

First card show in months with the Grandson, the hobby appears to be alive and well. Absolutely packed, buying, selling, trading. Vast majority is new stuff but lots of interest in it. Couldn’t pass on the 40’s/50’s trash can and 53 Bowman reprint set, Hostess as well

Great trade again with Mark Del Franco under 100 needed to close out another 86 Topps. Any other traders out there that could help I have plenty of other 80-86 to offer back.

Great mail day from J. J., Jason’s always a great trade partner and he uses these sweet bubble wraps! Down to 21 for a 6th 1986 Topps set if anyone else can trade.

Another Saturday card show with the Grandson, loads to action for the Pokémon stuff he likes, very busy, only one vintage guy so I had to support with a wide variety purchase

Fun trade with Doug Davis, gets me under 50 for a second set of these 1982 Topps Stickers. If anyone has some to trade, I’ve got plenty of regular issue in that era to offer back

Years ago, in days of old, when magic filled the air…as in pre-Covid days an aging Gen X’er returning to the hobby could find raw card deals on eBay in lots or singles to build sets he had never dreamed of finishing. Freshly Tuxedo’ed up now they ain’t beauties but, hey,

It’s been a bit since offering for sale any cards here but before these go up on eBay this evening here’s a few in case anyone is interested. $5 each, condition is VG with the Ashburn being EX-NrMnt, PWE. Questions, let me know.

One more, 1961 Mantle 565ft Home Run, presents well but there is a small slit, side pic shows the issue. $30 shipped with tracking

Grandkids over for pumpkin carving tonight, nice results
