A quick photo of the day......The Friendly Confines on a cold Saturday night in January
It does look dark on television but the light is actually quite bright in person, especially down on the field. I have no doubt that Wrigley is safe for ball playing. It is surprising how much the lights light up the night. There is no new light towers but rather as you said, a different...- mchenrycards

A quick photo of the day......The Friendly Confines on a cold Saturday night in January
I have not posted much lately as sports cards seem to be taking more of a backseat in my life right now as I tackle other projects and issues. My hope is to return soon and get back to collecting but only time will tell. Last Saturday night I found myself on the north side of Chicago and had...- mchenrycards

You have to love the fact that these came from the Lionel Carter collection, a real hobby pioneer and proponent. The fact these come from his collections make them even more special.- mchenrycards

Biggiobrooks
Absolutely terrible news. I knew he had some issues as he hinted to them in pm conversations we had a number of years ago but I had no idea they were as bad as they were. I cannot help to be incredibly sad at this news. He was a good kid with a passion for his hobby and apparently a passion...- mchenrycards

Members vs guests
With virtually zero new content and, as I write this, posts from three days ago still on the front page, one would hope members stay as members and not guests. This is supposed to be the busiest time of year for message boards such as this and yet, it seems the opposite is happening here. Its...- mchenrycards

My quest to complete the 1973 Topps baseball set. this is going to take some time!!!
I added about 50 cards over the last month to the set. No huge players like Mays and Clemente but some HOF stars were added. Thanks for looking. Photobucket has been down many times the last few weeks so I had to use this site's photo uploader which is the reason for the smaller scans...- mchenrycards

(2016) It's that time of the year, again. Order your REA catalog!
You can actually view the entire catalog online and it looks awesome. I have decided instead of killing a few trees and trying to decide where to store that catalog after all is said and done, I would browse the catalog online and screent shot anything I would love to keep. Besides, some of...- mchenrycards

Card companies mass sells?
I dont doubt his story. UD was known to pull crap like this but only if it was going to make them a nice chunk of change.- mchenrycards

What's in a nickname? Just ask Jack "Lucky" Lohkre
Jack "Lucky" Lohrke certainly earned his nickname during his life here on earth. Lohrke was a fledgling infielder in the New York Giants (Yes..New York) system who seemed to have cheated death six times before his professional baseball career would even get of the ground. Having grown up in...- mchenrycards

Card companies mass sells?
There is certainly a precedent set for this type of activity by the major card companies going back to the start of the hobby. Back in the day the dealer in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Larry Fritch would by whatever was left in the Topps runs directly from the company. This end of the year runs...- mchenrycards

Another rare one....Duke Snider as a hitting coach in the Padres first spring training camp in 1969. This one is really odd to see.- mchenrycards

Today's photo of the day.......Geeez, I forgot he played for them!
Today's photo of the day will be a bit different as I wanted to feature players we all know and love but in uniforms that will surprise, and maybe even shock you. Many players played for teams near the end of their career that were different than who we remember them being great for so to see...- mchenrycards

Vintage Pick Up Thread
I inadvertently jumped into the vintage cards again when I picked this '33 Goudey up last weekend in a trade. I had sold an old time dealer a large lot of cards and he felt I did not ask for as much as he thought they were worth so he knew I liked the Goudeys and tossed this into the deal...- mchenrycards

Funny you should ask......this is all I have left of my first '73 set and yes....they are all written on. I loved to keep a "live" set so I kept up with trades, minor league demotions and the like.- mchenrycards
