Collision at The Plate !!!!!!

As I start this post, I am watching the end of the Packers / Browns game.  Hoping the Pack can hold on to win. ( 6min left GB24 CLE13 ).

Even though I try my best to find time to write a post, I do read the blogs I follow, plus new ones, as often as I can. (just about every day)
(Yes !!! Pack score again!!  Go Pack Go)

One of the blogs I like reading is Play at The Plate.  Since reading this blog, when ever I get time to sort through some cards, I like looking for those cards with a play at the plate.

Here is one I found  (wonder if he has this one)

1992 Stadium Club 

Card is available for sale / trade.

If  Play at The Plate comments he needs this card,
it is his.

   Lonnie Smith (Braves) colliding with Brian Harper (Twins).  This is a photo from game 4 of the 91 World series.  Was Smith safe or out???  Do you remember ???

If you don't remember, lets watch.......

OOOOUUUCCHHHHHH!!!!

Your Out !!!!!

(YEAH Pack wins !!!!)

This is a fabulous card, with an excellent photo of a piece of Baseball History.

WORLD SERIES TIME !!!!

Here we go ......

I would like to see a Pirates vs A's World Series.

It would be like an early 70's retro World Series.
Small market clubs rule!!!!  (to bad the Royals or Twins didn't make it)

  

BUT ....  Than reality sets in and these will most likely be the two teams playing

Detroit vs  St Louis

If you would like to make your prediction, visit Collector's Crack and enter the World Series contest.  EASY!!!!!!  Must enter before noon on Sat Oct 5.  Great Prizes!!!

VACATION !!!!!

Go Go's Vacation  ( The 80's Best Girl Band)

I have been on VACATION since last Friday.  Thought I would have posted here and update my Web Store before now...BUT.....

My wife had other plans...  THE HONEY DO LIST ...   which she continues to add to every time I turn around. 

I have been able to knock off a few things on the list, so I am able to make a quick post.

Thanks again to those following.  I am going to try and round up a few cards for my followers.

My most important agenda right now is getting as many cards as possible inventoried on The Trading Card Database site, along with more listings in my WebStore and Ebay.

Always filling your want list  :  fasportscards@gmail.com.

All reasonable offers / trades are considered at my web store.  As time permits I am updating my want list.

34th National Sports Collectors Convention

I have never been to this convention.  Every time it has been in the Chicago area, I have thought about going.  I live in MN, so it wouldn't be that far of a drive.  

But, I had a big choice to make.  My wife gave me the option of one or the other, but not both....

  The Convention this year  ---    or   THE 2014 ALL STAR GAME next year here at Target Field.

I choose to try and get tickets for the All Star Game next year.  $$$$$$$$$

If I can't get tickets for the Big game, maybe at least take part in the activities before hand.

Hope everyone that goes to the convention has a super time.

Maybe next time it's back in Chicago, I will be able to attend.  (2015??)
