The Blogger National 2024

To give a reason to post something for the first time since late May - I jumped in on this blog bat-around from Cards Over Coffee where I have a round up of things that have animated me.
K-Rod certified autograph - for how tough he eventually became to get an autograph of, maybe there are now opportunities to pick up a pack pulled autograph for relatively cheap.

This one probably ends up squirreled away in my all-time autograph collection - where I can put it away and forget about it.

Fished out a small pile of 1951 Bowman reprints in a bulk box at a card show - sent this one with $5 to get inked up by the all-time signing great.
Oddball Dodgers stadium giveaway - at the start of the year, I picked this up off the 'swap meet' table at a card shop and I'm wondering if I should leave as is.
Presumably a partial mix of cards towards the entire master set - I wonder how many different subjects are contained within this 'pack' of player card sheets.
Top 100 fuel for a probable set featuring only Angels cards - not sure where I might have another copy of this uncorrected error card somewhere, so it was easier to buy a copy online.
Top 100 card featuring the GOAT hitter pitching - I bought another copy back in April, but it bugged me where a corner was dog eared.

I am kind of a stickler on condition at first glance, where I might spot an obvious blemish on a card I picked up outright, regardless of value - for some peace of mind, I pulled the trigger on picking up another copy and thankfully it seems a cleaner.

Top 100 fuel - a priority is squirreling away cards that might be cult favorites [even if only in my mind] as highlights of all-time Top 100 cheap-azz keepers collections.

  2. All good, but the one that catches me is the Santiago. Very cool!

  3. If $2 is what you paid for the Dodgers pack, I'd say that you got a pretty good deal. And for 98 years old, it's amazing how nice Bobby's signature still looks.
