Let's play BALL!

 I had an interesting day yesterday. 

Started out with a wake up text from my daughter Hunter. She wanted to come over take a shower before work (see explanation below). I figured Hunter coming over in the morning would wipe out her coming over before Bible Study after work.  So....

I drove over to Ormond Beach to a card shop. Met up with my dealer buddy from Jax. Fred there and his two daughters it was one of their birthdays (and she works there once a week too). Anyways, Fred usually has an extra table set up in Jax to sell cards for Kyle (I've mentioned the name before and will be doing so real soon). He (Fred) has always told me that he gets the stuff he gives me or sells me cheap from Kyle. The funny thing is I was planning on meeting Fred there on Wednesday a couple weeks ago, but Fred had to 86 the plan that week. That's not the funny part, I had bid on an Ebay auction the night before that was ending on Wednesday. No idea who the seller was..... until I won the auction (will show it soon.....maybe). It was Kyle or at least his shop!. Back to the story. I went there yesterday, and spent the entire day there not that you could do anything else here (it has been non stop thunderstorms all week, tennis ball size hail, bad weather week). It was if I was a card show but just 1 dealer and chairs for every box. Lots of boxes. I will tell all the details when I post the GETS. 

What? You thought I was going to show them tonight? Get outta here. Nope, we got some more of that oddball stuff from the March Jacksonville show. :)

I got home around 7:30 pm. Hunter had in fact came by. I know this because the lights were off in my garage. I hadn't shut those lights off since I built the home in 2004, well since the move in 2005. Not to mention the house was FREEZING. Y'all know I keep my house at 81 degrees, it was 77, and the a/c was blowing hard. Another quick fix, now to wait until it warmed back up, low and behold here comes Hunter and my grandson back shortly thereafter. Normally, she doesn't have Elijah on Thursday nights, which is why she apparently came over before church to give him a bath as their water was still out. (I'm thinking lightning), anyways she remembered that she left the a/c on, and was coming back to turn it off not knowing if I was coming home or not after finding out that I wasn't home earlier. That was a great finish to the day for sure. 

Okay okay baseball cards.

1977 HOF set. Over Sized. 

That is a pretty good line-up there.  Not the best quality either. A standard size centered card would have been so much better.

Let's do another set or two or three.

This Clemente set is oversized as well. Fits in a 4 pocket page.

Negro League set.

A few of those names were familiar, and a few not.

One more to go tonight.

How about a Nolan Ryan set.

Okay, that's good for tonight. I figure it was best to gets these all out at once being that they are made by the same folks and are very very similar design wise that is.

Have a great weekend. I had been planning on heading to the Tampa card show on Saturday. Now, I'm not sure because of the great haul at Kyle's card shop! I guess I'll figure it out in the morning (if I wake up real early).

Oh the winner last night was: Nick V.
