One of my favorite items in my collection is a postcard sent by Red Sox owner Joe Lannin from 1914 spring training (in Hot Springs, Arkansas) to Nuf Ced McGreevy in Boston. There is some great baseball content in the message. I purchased the postcard in an eBay auction, which was ending when I was on a boar hunting trip in Georgia. I was trudging through a swamp at night, by myself, with no cell signal, as the auction was coming to an end. I hiked almost a mile to where I knew I could get a signal, to place my final bid as the clock ticked down. Loudly yelled with delight when I won. Insanity for sure… but I sure am happy to have it!
