Thanks, George.

There is a fair amount of Spencer autos out there, but I wanted one on an Angel card. Recently found an old advertisement for the March of Dimes from 1971. My late mom saved it for me. It has Jim Spencer on it, asking for donations. My mom made a notation on it of the date and $2. Being a single mom back then, $2 wasn't chump change!

Andrew- Nice addition to the Angles collection!

Alright guys, here's the latest Dunn addition thanks to the wifey.


2009 Topps Chrome Red Refractor /25

It's the first Red Refractor of any kind that I have owned. It looks super sweet in person. Only one card left to come in. It's from Taiwan, so who knows when it will make it in. Crystal usually does a great job when she gets me cards and this year is no exception. I am very pleased with the cards she picked up for me. :D

My work thermostat broke, so I am pretty much sitting in an oven today. This is horrid.

See that is the type of stuff that makes "collecting" fun, connections.

I agree Spencer was and "undervalued" ball player.

morning everyone.

Dice-K had a great return last night 6 IP 3 H and 0 R.

the Pirates lost again.

I went to the Penguins first pre-season game last night. they were losing 3-0 going into the 3rd period and then Sidney Crosby took over with 2 goals and assisted on another and the Pens won 5-4 in OT.

Bruce I agree with George make sure you go to Alligator Adventure it's a great time.

Joe very nice Red Refractor and the card from Taiwan may get there faster than you think. I have had cards arrive faster from Taiwan than from the US.

Dave- not a problem! If I'm catching up on the game in the morning then I usually scan the posts carefully so I don't spoil the ending ;) I'm weird that way. And you always post the results which is cool. Keep it up! :D

Oh and damn, sick mailday. Love the signed photo. :o

thanks Charlie and Dave. I have to check but I believe the photo is from Bay's first game with the Red Sox last season after he was traded.
