Hi all,
It's been a while. Nothing but positive for me the last couple years. Nothing new on the collecting front as Topps and the retailers (retail horder hounds) have priced me out of the hobby from buying packs n such. I just buy singles and that's been very few a far between.

Been a weird last 2 weeks. Involved with 2 sports leagues (baseball & football), both having trouble fielding teams although the costs are half of what they used to be. We asked parent what's keeping them or Jr from playing, video games and soccer. We knew soccer was affecting us...

Cold in the mornings here, still digging out from under 6 inches of ice from last week.
Got some hard to find cards in the mail yesterday.
Enjoy!

Been awhile since I've checked in. I've given up on the hobby as far as anything new. The whole stupidly silly retail hoarding the last 2 years really put be out of the hobby. I went to several shows where many of the dealers had stacks and stacks of retail marked up double &...
I was amazed at the places that people made to live in out of junk (scrap sheet metal and wood pallets) but had a 2018 F150 in the drive way. Asked at a truck stop if those were hunting getaways or something like that. They told me that people live in them so they can get assistance for their...

My baseball season is over. Been a nice ride. We won the Cincinnati Knothole Championship - 15U division. Fall baseball will start up in September but until then, I'll just watch on TV.
Went on vacation to Arizona and Utah since we're down at work for microchip shortages. Both...
Morning All! Been extremely busy with baseball. Umpiring 2 games a night for the last 2 weeks as we’ve been pummeled with rain. Trying to squeeze a whole season in about 3 weeks. Not much happening on the hobby front for me as not much available of my guy that I don’t already have or it’s way...
Wow! Congratulations for finishing the set. I’m willing to bet as well that you have the only completed set.

Big day here at FoMoCo. We learned that a transmission that was scheduled to end its life cycle got a reprieve. There is a European version of the Ranger that transmission will go in to. We’ll build around 1000 per day for the next year or so. This move retains around 300 jobs...
We don't have to wear a facemask under our plate mask but in between innings we have to. I try to do my best to not hover over the catcher as much as I used to. Teams still don't high five or give the end of game handshake.

Umpired a game yesterday in the rain. We started the game with a light sprinkle. After the 2nd inning, it was a steady drizzle but not downpour. I stopped the game, told the coaches we'll suspend the game but neither wanted to come back at a later date or time to finish it, so we...

DeGrom's making a case against the DH in the NL.
On 2 week layoff from work due to the computer chip shortage. Gonna enjoy it!
Baseball umpiring today for 2 games and then dinner.
Enjoy All!

I still have the card Razor made for me. Odd this thread was brought back from the dead. Maybe check ebay for custom Canseco cards to see if someone lifted the designs.
