Here is a card from a set that I plan to at least get the rest of my Homie teams (Nationals and Orioles) and possibly build the whole set. I love the look of this set it is simple yet detailed. The coloring and the overall design gives it an art-deco look.

2005 Donruss Zenith 162 Nick Johnson Nationals

*sigh* add another set to try to complete of the zillion I am already "building".

2004 Upper Deck Play Ball Baseball 101 Luis Matos Orioles

Pretty cool sliding into base pic. Could do without all the gold leaf/imprinting though.

1995 Pinnacle Baseball 188 Brady Anderson Orioles

A much needed upgrade to complete a Team Set (almost 50 years later). IN my effort to complete the 1965 Topps set (Strive For '65) a few weeks back I had technically finished the Team Set for the Washington Sentators, however one of the cards was in major need of an upgrade:

1965 Topps Baseball 21 Don Blasingame Senators


especially because of the back:

ICK glued paper debris, yuck.

So thanks to a trip to my LCS and $2 later...


and the back:


That is MUCH better. So now I have the Complete 1965 Topps Washington Senators Team Set

This one speaks for itself:

Oh Pooh. Is anyone else having this problem? Is my link bad or is Steve's eyesight just being selective?

[aceecards]

I can see clearly now!

How about Hammerin' Hank for my Strive for '65 Set build?


Got it from the bay for $17 delivered. Not bad for one of the Big Fish from '65

Time for the semi-annual post. or as I say on my blog "The Card of Whenever". Here is a semi-recent post from my reguler Card Blog


1942 Play Ball 1983 Reprint 32 Mel Ott NY Giants


I got it as part of a surprise PWE package from a blogger many months ago sometime last year. The technique that this guy uses for sending stuff in PWEs is pretty cool he cuts up regular 9 pocket card pages horizontally and fills the 3 pocket "mini sheet" with cards sometimes going to the limit of about 4 cards per pocket. The PWE is a standard business sized #10 envelope. The 3 pocket sheet row keeps the envelope from having that one or two card sized bump in it. Of course he has to use 2 stamps instead of one but hey so far I haven't had any problems with his stuff.

I posted this card and its story on my Washington Curly W Cards Blog today.

A few weeks back in checking to see what I still needed in the team sets for my 1974 Topps Baseball set build for the Orioles I noticed I need one of those annoying multi-player rookie cards. They are annoying in the fact that often times they are hard to find just because one of the players went on to superstardom making the card difficult to find inexpensively. I made a post for my regular card blog about some of the team sets I had completed or almost completed to help with my overall '74 set build. While scanning a few cards to show off. I chose the Brooks Robinson card to represent the O's.



While looking at the card getting it ready for scanning I noticed the back and the paper loss damage. EEEEEKKK!



**Sigh** Now I need to get an upgrade copy. Yep paper loss and the part with the top of the AVG column is barely holding on to the rest of the card.

[jaderock]

Did you get it like that or did it happen over the years I storage?

I think I got it like that but didn't notice at the time, or noticed but soon forgot it was damaged.

Need to try to remember to update this often with whatever. Not sure if I should start some posts, I mean threads, of specific players or not, those always seem to be popular if the player is a superstar and other fans want to see them. I don't do the trendy popular stuff though.

A fairly recent (from March) showing on my Curly W Cards blog:

1956 Topps Baseball 49 Pedro Ramos Washington Nationals

Been a few years since I've added a new post. As usual let me link to a recent post from my main card blog.

This card is from my Niche PC specifically my "names" niche (people with my name or similar names)

ACK the earlier part of this thread (and the early part of my TCC Blog when I posted images on it) has been ravaged by the recent Photobucket "YOU haven't UPGRADED to the NON-FREE MEMBERSHIP so We will block your photos from 3rd Parties" Image. I had recently looked over some of those older posts to see what I had shown way back when. UGH Fortunately it looks like I can still access my Photobucket account at its source so I might be able to "save" some of my Photobucket only images. Also in recent years I have mostly relied just on blogger (blogspot) to share photos/images. I held onto photobucket mostly because it had been the first and easiest site to use with Ebay.

What a nightmare reminds me of several years ago when Yahoo got rid of their Photo Album and later their "briefcase", when they did away with the Album I lost tons of images fortunately most of "those" were not very important and were obtained from other sources not my own original photos.

Whoever says "If it's on the internet it is there forever" does not use any of these free image hosting sties that go under after 5-10 years.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me.
