About 20 years ago I went to get Joe Dimaggio's autograph on a ball. At the show I found an 8x10 photo of Dimaggio, Mantle and Ted Williams and had to have it. I was still a broke kid and didn't have the $600 or so to buy it but the "nice" dealer let me pay it off over time. I got the photo about 6 months later and it hung on my wall for the next 10 years as one of my most prized possessions. Then I read "Operation Bullpen". The "nice" dealer I bought the photo from was on the list of scumbags that was selling stuff from the Marino group. Yeah, that sucked.

Anyway, I've wanted to replace it ever since. I'd search for one here and there, but last week I found a perfect listing. Auction style with a full PSA letter. Seller also had a Dimaggio/Williams with a full letter, that one was just a bargain I couldn't pass up.

Congrats, Scott! The new purchase had to be a satisfying addition to your collection.

Who doesn't love Monday mail days!

The Black Diamond Bat card is a duplicate. The other Gonzalez card is a perfect example of me still missing several relatively easy cards of his.

I've never been a Griffey fan and I cringed when my hometown Reds signed him, but I got a chance to land the pair below, so I thought "what the heck..."
(for not being a Griffey fan, some good cards of his have landed in my collection recently ::facepalm::)

This may be my last update for a while. Junk mail Tuesday doesn't always come through with new cards and I'm getting married this weekend. The guests begin arriving on Wednesday so I'll likely be occupied. You guys are probably suffering from National Treasures overload as it is.

Cheers,
Ron

Thank you for the good wishes/sympathy/congratulations.

After ten years together, I still feel like every day with her is a gift from God (and I say that even though I know she will never read this). I'm a lucky guy.

Thanks,
Ron

I'm happy to report the wedding went smoothly and I'm now an impossible-to-be-around newlywed. Here are some cards that arrived in March. I'll try to get caught up on April in the next few days.

I was just thinking the same thing. I stopped what I was doing to show it to my wife to see. You DON'T see guys doing that any more!
