    Somehow, that doesn't really help. But good luck in the coming semester!

    Nope, doesn't serve boudin. Boudin is the last name of the family that has made the trademark sourdough bread for over 100 years. Perfect bread.

    I will scan them up this weekend. Nothing huge, but a few editions I didn't have.

    Chinese food and sourdough bread. Best in the world (including China).

    Of Jack I have four true firsts. I have a bench of modern firsts, but, ones that would be considered truly rare, I have about 40.

    I was lucky enough to inherit a nice starter collection of rare books from my grandpa. His father (my great grandpa) knew Jack London well from the Oakland days and my grandfather met him a couple times when he was a kid. My mom gave me my grandfather's last remaining signed London book when I...

    Morning all. Came home from the trip to find 16 TTMs had arrived! Posted up pics on the Through the Mail board. Trip was good. Picked up several editions, reconnected with a bookseller friend in Berkeley that I hadn't seen in ten years.

    Morning all. Headed out from San Francisco today to Yosemite for a couple days, then back home. Had a very good book-buying trip in San Fran and Berkeley, as well as a nice visit to Jack London State Park (ninth visit to the park).

    Joe, I always ask them to personalize the card. Since these are all PC items, I prefer them personalized. Probably 75-80% of the players add the personalization.

    Long, potentially boring nostalgia post. Or, "Where Have You Gone, Biff Pocoroba?"

    Re: Long, potentially boring nostalgia post. Or, "Where Have You Gone, Biff Pocoroba?" I agree. While Bostock's death changed me, Munson's shook me up badly, too. It almost seemed, at the age of 11, that things were out of control somehow. As if the "stability" that I imagined was...

    Re: Long, potentially boring nostalgia post. Or, "Where Have You Gone, Biff Pocoroba?" Figured you would get a kick out of the post, Dave. I spent every penny of birthday/chore money on cards. One time I even blew the princely sum of $5.00 completely on 1978 packs. I think they were 15...

    Re: Long, potentially boring nostalgia post. Or, "Where Have You Gone, Biff Pocoroba?" I agree with how cool the manager cards were. Blew my mind as a kid to find out that guys like Tom Lasorda used to play.
