Better get back to these, the next flea market might be this weekend. Why Purchased: For the almost-vintage Hall of Famers. I didn’t even notice the Youk rookie till I had already decided to purchase it. Keepers: None I guess. The Griffey doesn’t interest me very much, and the others I can probably find good [...]

I’m starting to get on a roll, might even get close to finishing before the next show! Here is the 4th binder page: Why Purchased: Because I collect Frank Robinson, and also for the Alex Rios RC & A-Rod Thunder insert. Keepers: Just the Frank Robinson I guess. Notes: There’s something unflattering about Willkie’s photo there, [...]

Now for the second binder page. Keep in mind these pages only cost me about 60¢ apiece. Why Purchased: The ROOKIES! Keepers: The ROOKIES! At least for now anyway. Notes: Somehow, this all-junk wax page might be my favorite of the entire bunch (maybe). It’s so cool to see so many rookies of stars that [...]

Heyas. Been a long time, huh? Nothing’s really changed since last we chatted, except for getting a few more of the sketch cards from the previous post finished (and a few new ones drawn up), and a seriously loudass person moving in upstairs pushing me to the end of my rope with this lousy place.
