Free Software! (Sort of...)

I love how many collection manager tools there were in the early '90s! Hobby and technology nostalgia!

GM, Good People!

I ran across this hilarious want ad in the April 1977 issue of The Trader Speaks from a collector looking for a 1947 Tip-Top Bread MIke Tresh card.

When people in the #bitcoin space say “no keys” all I hear is gnocchis.

I'm so glad I committed (this AM, here on #Nostr) to scanning an old issue of The Trader Speaks because the back issue I chose, Feb. 1983, had a short write-up about my favorite basketball set, the 1971 Topps Stickers!

Potentially a 4 #Bitcoin sheet of basketball cards. Wrote about its history a bit on the blog: https://www.postwarcards.com/1970-topps-basketball-full-uncut-sheet-with-three-maravich-rookies/

Shakira said “you know my hips don’t lie.” Same here, mine are feeling a little sore, likely from too much running, so I’ll step back and take tomorrow off.

Listen to your body!

Today’s Hobby Goals:

- Research 1947-66 Exhibit Baseball cello pack distribution

- Scan a back issue of Trader Speaks and Sports Cards Mag

- Scan an old Life Magazine to support an article I’m writing about the Horrors of War set

- Get one “large” set ready to be listed on eBay

- Help a collector with info about that Larry Bird sheet I shared yesterday for his youtube video

GM Nostr!

Yesterday, I shared a 1950 Topps Bring ‘Em Back Alive One-Cent display box, so today, I figured I’d share the box for the set’s sequel, 1951 Topps Animals of the World!

This set is designated R714-1 by the American Card Catalog, and the cards featured artwork by Mary Lee Baker. They came as singles (1 card per pack for a penny) and perforated 2-card panels (6 cards/5-cent pack), and the panels command a premium. Also, the cards issued as singles have white cardboard stock on the back, while the panels have gray cardboard on the back.

This evening's reading: The July 1993 issue of Sports Cards Magazine!

I'm curious about which steroid-pumping ballplayers they thought were Hall of Fame locks at the time!

From the collection of Christopher Sanchirico, one of the only uncut sheets of 1987-88 Fleer Basketball to ever have surfaced.

I was gonna help you stack sats by zapping but you haven’t got a wallet set up!

I keep hoping they release a new umbrel-home with a 4TB plus drive. I was late to see the upgrade to the new os and when I did last weekend I was too lazy to do any work…perhaps now I’ll have to!

Waffles for first. Second was more like a snack, breakfast bar and a chocolate.
