This weeks mail a bit slower as expected... but got an added bonus when I bought the Phillies team set for the Sharts. Rhyming names always get me too!
The 90-94 Conlon Collection cards have a lot of the pre war guys names in it.. the majority are nicknames though I go more for the players who were given these names directly by their parents.
Not yet.. I’ve been focusing on the vintage in highest grade or raw quality I can find or lowest numbered or rarest card if newer player. Trying to stick to $20 max per card/player budget but there are a few that doesn’t apply to.

Sold off my whole Canseco collection 5+ years ago and moved away from the hobby totally aside from a small side PC of funny named players. Have continued to follow the hobby from afar until a couple months ago I decided I wanted to expand my side PC and go after whoever I could find that fit the...
Its now been a couple years since I sold off my player collection.. I have it all scanned in on a thumb drive when I feel the need to look back but it was easier than I thought it would be to let go. being one of those crazy super collectors who has to have 1 of everything and Topps making that...
that contract is an albatross..and we have a few of those still to live through(Hanley and Price) Donaldson would be much better fit for our needs and plenty of RH power especially in Fenway. I would package Travis and JBJ or something with one of them to try and get that type of deal done
