Hello again, if you're still here or you're back or if you're just joining me, welcome!
I haven't had the motivation to write posts here in awhile.

I've just created an Instagram account for posting a card (give or take) a day.
My first post was my 2024 Wallet Card, a 1992 Fleer Citgo The Performer Collection card of none other than the greatest Base stealer of all time, Rickey Henderson:
It's bittersweet that one of Rickey's greatest moments was stuffed in my wallet all year. The card definitely has made me smile every time I pulled it out looking for a loose gift card or receipt over the past 12 months.
Rickey made an appearance at a card show in my hometown over the summer, but I didn't take the chance to meet him, thinking there would be many more opportunities in the future. I actually thought about getting the wallet card signed, but that's not possible now.
I want 2025 to be a year of doing the things I want to do instead of regretting not having done them. Here's to a new year, best of luck to all with your collecting goals!
A. Happy New Year! Glad to see a post on your blog.
ReplyDeleteB. In regards to thinking you'd have more opportunities to see Rickey and have him sign your wallet card... I totally know how you feel. I wasn't going to have him sign my wallet card... but I had planned on getting him to sign a copy of his 1981 Granny Goose card. My buddy worked with him at a show last year and asked if I wanted to get anything signed, but I didn't have the time to dig it out. I should have made the time.
Happy new year! I also skipped Rickey’s appearance at the river centre show unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning on posting any more this year, or was this just a one-off?
ReplyDeleteI've got one ready to go for tomorrow, so at least one more!
DeleteI keep wondering if I should use my instagram for more. Maybe I should do a daily post
