I have no idea how to create pages but I'll figure it out eventually godammit

If anyone has an Applejack from the recent McDonald's promotion you'd be willing to trade, you will be well rewarded.

Like free cards? Have too many Indians in your doubles box? Check out the 182 Packs of Baseball Thingy.

Punk Rock Paint is making some Nifty business cards (Nifty with a capitol IFT)


In case anyone wants my opinion on card shops in Atlanta

Top of the Pops are my favorite blogs. If you're not on there, try harder. (sorry, but I have to be blunt on this one)
New Unbroken Daily Reading is where I'm slowly migrating everything.

Vintage Show Continued: '53 Topps

I've already shown off the show, so let's finish out the goodies I got at that Vintage show. I hope anyone who went to the TriStar Show last weekend got to check out his coolness. Other than my Braves collection, my major vintage focus is my 1953 Topps set. I whish I had a little more cash on hand than I did, but I still managed to pick up a couple I needed.



This Howie Fox with bonus pinhole was the card that finished off this page. There are precious few true common cards I need from the low series, most are Mickeys and Yogis and Jackies. Howie was in the two to three dollar box and was the first card I picked out when I got there. Now if I can just find #%$& Cal Abrams...



I had to get a high number card too, andJim Delsing got the call. There were about 7 or 8 high numbers I needed in the bargain box (why oh why didn't I get $20 out of the ATM before I went???) and Jim got the call. Why? It's in reasonably good condition, The painting looks good, I like the RAAAR Tiger logo and Howie was a National Leaguer so I balance out my purchases with someone from the Junior Circuit. I very nearly got a Dick Groat Rookie card that bas horribly trimmed however.

I'll finish off the Vintage show this week with - who else - THE BRAVES.

Am I the only one who thinks this set is better looking than the fabled '52s?
