When I left the Beckett boards to come here almost twenty years ago, I never looked back. I didn't even know they still had a board. -
RIP - Mike Greenwell
I was a big fan of his during the late 1980s. Very good hitter in his day. Sad news indeed. -
Willie Mays Halloween Card
These are really cool. Didn't know at all about these cards. If memory serves, Mays was exclusive to Donruss at this point. -
RIP Ryne Sandberg
He will be missed. In the 1980s, he was one of my favorite Cubs players to watch on WGN. I have so many wonderful baseball memories of this man. -
Pining for the past. A perfect card to sum up my feelings.
Ditto. I don't pay for scribbles. -
The Perfect Card - is there such a thing?
Another favorite of mine. Boy, do I regret selling my copy of this wonderful looking card. -
Roberto Alomar Collector's Thread

That Alomar Elite looks really nice. The borders match nicely with the color of his jersey. There's some great symmetry there. -

When I was a kid, the 1980 Topps Reggie Jackson was like the ultimate card. It captures Reggie in full swing in Yankee Stadium at the height of his popularity. Great photo within one of the sweetest Topps designs ever. -
The Perfect Card - is there such a thing?
To me, another perfect card is the 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente. It has the iconic player lost in his thoughts in this bittersweet photo from towards the end of his career. -
