Of course, the upside is that, at least in my case, I can take an hour at lunch and write my post for the 1982 Topps Blog I write. I know at least a couple of you have been checking it out, and I greatly appreciate those of you who have taken the time to leave comments on the posts.
Over there, we're up to card #46. It's a special one, because it's a Brewer. Making it more special is the fact that you'll be treated to a drinking song straight from the streets of 19th Century Vienna if you do go there. Say hello to Wisconsin native Jerry Augustine.
The downside to me working tonight is that I probably will not get to looking at the e-mails some of you have sent me or into the cards that I had intended to get ready to send out tomorrow. Since I'm going out of town on a short vacation with my wife's family through Wednesday, I will not be sending anything out until next week Thursday or Friday. Sorry.
Finally, since Baseball Card Blogger law says that bloggers cannot post without pictures, here are two "first-day" type cachets that I bought for a buck a piece on eBay from two momentous occasions in Robin Yount's career -- his second MVP award and his 3000th hit.
Stay safe, watch some baseball, hang out with family and friends, and enjoy your Memorial Day -- but don't forget why we have a Memorial Day.
See you next week.
I have to track down a few of those cachet's
ReplyDeleteOh. And have a great weekend
DeleteNice eBay purchases. "First-day" cachets are highly underrated in my book.
ReplyDeleteBtw... it's funny that you bring up your job and schedule in today's post. I've scheduled a post for tomorrow that covers the same info... and you're included. Stay tuned.
Have a good mini vacation. Maybe you will find a good flea market or card shop.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get back send me an email at jinxoangel2@bellsouth.net so I can send you some Brewers cards.
