My God, some beautiful cards this month. How can you not be romantic about baseball? How can you not wax poetic about this hobby?

The thing that warms my heart is seeing these really gorgeous examples that are so much better than their numerical grade would imply. You can't reduce a baseball cards to a series of subgrades. You just can't. It goes to show what an experienced collector can find when they are patient. There are some real gems out there that look so much than higher-graded, more expensive

You guys inspire me. I am beyond ready to start collecting again.
