julieWhat do i ansolutely have to have again? What do I really not miss as much as i thought? Lots of surprises! (I'm afraid to tell you, because some all time favorite cards I can do without permanently!)
Then the 19th century showed up, and has kept me famished for 6 or 7 years. Such characters: Radbourne, kelly, Hoy, Delahanty...
I find that talking to other collectors does it. I mean, sometimes i couldn't care less about the things thy're raving about but sometimes, something I didn't even know existed will tweak my interest. Like the first goalie to leave his feet in defense of the goal...cards of Brown that show his injured hand...fell in love with the goofy guy on the back of a peck and Snyder... discovered that there were black men playing in the majors in the 19th century.
Hey, there's even a well-centered Eckersly rookie!
