The vintage scores I was talking about.

1906 Fan Craze of Cubs pitcher Carl Lundgren. Carl was born and lived in the town next to me (Marengo, IL), and I've wanted a card of him for awhile. He's in T206 with two variations, as a minor-leaguer (Kansas City) and a much rarer major-leaguer (Chicago). So the Fan Craze was the affordable alternative with him as a Cub. This becomes my oldest card with a player photograph.

And I also added a red version of the Rabbit Maranville 1934 Diamond Matchbook.

that goes with blue and orange in my PC, leaving only a green for a complete rainbow.

Good morning guys. I hope everyone has a great day.

The last couple of years at #Redsfest , the Reds have had 8 autograph sessions upstairs during Redsfest. You enter online for the opportunity to be a part of the sessions. They have 4 on Friday and 4 on Saturday. Last year, I won and got to go to the Bronson Arroyo signing. This morning I got an email saying I won and get to go to the Billy Hamilton autograph session.

[MENTION=5359]clarkzac[/MENTION] - Saw your post from last night. RedsFest is always the first weekend in December. I know that technically it's the second weekend this year, but that's because December starts on a Sunday. It's always a great time. Crystal has a blast as well. With the online "lottery" for the upstairs autographs, I know that I will get Billy Hamilton at the very least this year. :lol:

Good morning guys. It sure was nice sleeping in my bed a home compared to the one in my dorm room. Probably going to go see my cousins today. The one that is in 4th grade wants me to help her build a lego house this weekend

Good morning guys. Not much going on here at work. My listings end throughout the morning. Lots of watchers, only a few nibbles. Better than nothing. One guy bought my extra gold medallion on base leaders. He messaged with his payment that Hes been working on building the set, so I'm glad I was able to help him.
