I was just asking as I was trying to figure out why in the hell Frank was going to be in Kearney, Nebraska (well, maybe that is where the mockery started).

Ed,

I did get off at the Kearney, NE exit on I-80 not too long ago looking for either fuel or food. I found neither.

I thought this thread would produce stories of cards that spent many more days in the NJ sorting facility than mine. Unfortunately the thread seems to revealing that our members in NE have far too much free time.

My trip to Kearny, NJ was purely hypothetical. I can always ask my cards what they did during their three days in Kearny.

If your cards happened to make a side trip through the neighboring towns of Irvington or Elizabeth, be thankful if they arrive sans bullet holes.

Been there, done that.



And now that you know the back story, the price just went up, as it is for sale.

Back Story: This card was once mine. I nabbed it in the 60s - as a young teen - from Goldfadden (ADCO) when I lived in SoCal. And I spent a few trips to Kern(y) County, although the card always stayed in L.A. No lie, no kilt, and not off kilter. If you happen to buy it from Frank, please let me know.

I just bought an autographed index card from Ownie Carroll(played in majors from 1925-34) and he was born in Kearny, NJ so I actually thought it was kind of cool that the card just spent the weekend in Kearny before heading to my house.

You can always pick up a body condom at the border. The other option is the sheep dip as you leave.

While your cards are visiting Kearney, ask them to be on the lookout for about 80 of my cards which decided to go AWOL while passing thru Kearney. They were all traveling in the same box. Had many others spend more time there than they were suppose to but eventually got bored and moved on.
