HI ALL!! Oh yea, shop till you drop. I am missing baseball really bad. This is the long time to get through for baseball fans. I went "looking" around today on eBay at different things. It is always fun to go looking for different or odd ball stuff. I had read an article about a bat card that had a piece of cork in between the pieces of the bat. The player claimed that it was not his bat. Well obviously because that would be cheating. The card company claimed that it was his bat. Because they had certified the card as a game used bat card. WOW, what a time that was. It was back in 2000, and now the company that made the card is out of business, and the player has retired, although twice he tested positive for PED's. And is thought to have used them during his playing days. So I found one card on eBay, for $5000.00?? Yea, really, some people who try and sell baseball cards try to get very rich off of that. There are a lot of cards that have oddities to them, cards that were released that shouldn't have been, cards with wrong backs, wrong words on the back of the cards, wrong teams, etc, etc, etc. You can spend a long time searching after "error" cards. Some are valuable, most are not. It is funny about baseball cards, someone will say they have "vintage" cards, I think 50's or 60's. NO, the cards are from the 80's, when there were sooooo many cards printed! One thing to remember about baseball cards, less than a year after they are printed, they are considered "out of print", because they do not print them up any more. CHOW MOI
