Welcome

This blog is about sports cards. I tend to only purchase cheap items so don't come hear expecting to see big money cards. My teams collections are Chicago White Sox and Michigan Wolverines. I also have a bunch of player collections.

  1. One of the readers on my blog and local collector (Mr. Haverkamp) explained the difference between Dravecky's signatures. Autographs with Dave directly to the left of Dravecky were signed with his left hand... while signatures that are stacked were signed withi his right hand.

Sorry about the word verification, but blogger sucks at filtering out the comments as of late. As bad as their last update is.
