    Dale Murphy TTM--Sent 2005/Returned April 2014

    Remarkable! Back in 2005, before I had children and a lot more time, I subscribed to an autograph service which gave me addresses to former big league ballplayers. I would send them a short note, a card or two to sign and a SASE. I had about a 50% success rate and got autographs back from Hall...

    Halloween Public Service Announcement

    Over the years on this board and the old BMB, I've read hundreds of threads asking what should be done with commons from box breaks, dupes, whatever. With tonight being Halloween, it is an ideal time to unload those commons to trick or treaters. I've been doing this for over 10 years now...

    Baltimore Orioles Draft Ripken

    With their 20th round selection in the 2012 draft, the Baltimore Orioles select Ryan Ripken, first baseman from the Gilman School in Baltimore. Cal's son probably won't sign as he has a full ride to South Carolina for baseball and very well might walk on to their basketball team.

Sources suggest this was worked on during our off day and could be announced...
