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.

    Dave's story is awesome! Glad I got a chance to see him pitch when he played with the Giants. A few years ago a fellow collector taught me something about Dravecky's signatures. He stacked his signature after his surgery. So your Padres card was signed with his left hand, and your Giants was signed with his right.

    I read his first book probably a dozen times as a kid.

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