WE'RE "ALL"MOST THERE

 

          On Monday I was back at my school job after a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday & my Coworker Tim got me 1 card closer to completing my master 1982 Fleer set leaving me to get the John Littlefield lefthanded pose & Darrell Jackson all Red Hat.  This card I was happy to get after all I figured I could find this 1 before the other 2 considering that everytime someone clearly claims that they have the all Red Hat version of Darrell Jackson, I can still see the slightest sliver of white on the "T" on the card making the all Red Hat practically hard to find. As for the Littlefield everytime I been to a huge show like Chantilly in the Washington D.C. area or the National Sports Card Convention I try to find someone who might have an inexpensive graded copy for me to purchase so I can crack that card out or even if it's in a toploader with a price that I can't turn down I'll get it or if someone in the blogging world has 1 for trade I'll be glad to give it a new home. The same can be said about the Darrell Jackson card I mentioned as well.

         Believe me this another one that I like to locate the Famous Davey Lopes back finger card. I have all the other cards just not this 1 again I hope to find 1 soon. 

        Back in August of last year I was at antique shop saw that they had a 1985 Donruss set for a price of $30 I couldn't believe it was a Factory version that someone opened up took the Don Mattingly Diamond King card out & Razor Shines out a replaced it with error Seaver in its place.

Why take Kirby Puckett or Roger Clemens cards when you can get Razor Shines.

        The corrected Seaver was in the right spot the Puckett & Clemens RCs weren't touched but Razor surprised me being missing lucky I knew how to get that card for a Dime. I was also able to get the other variations for a dime as well with the exception of Jack Perconte shown here.

                                           I had the 4 liner but needed the 3 liner shown here.

                Well during the November show this year I usually go to outside of the Detroit area once a month a dealer had some 1981 to 1987 Donruss singles for a nickel a card so I went through the `85's 5th card in was Old Jack it was the 3 liner that I needed excited that I couldn't believe it I plopped my nickel down only to find out that dealer said since I didn't have any others that I needed that old Jack would be free. I couldn't complain about the price so I accepted it.  

                  In closing I like to announce in my last post no one came close to the correct number of what I had. So I'll try another contest before the new year in case your wondering the answer was zero I mentioned at the beginning of the post to pay close attention & I concluded by saying this  ".....are in All This Post." Last time I counted A-L-L T-H-I-S P-O-S-T didn't have any "Ms".  I also will miss some my fellow blogging reading materials Cards With Coffee & Dime Box Nick to name a few you were influenced me to create my blog & I hope you will continue to check back on this blogger to see how long will I bring collecting cards in the community so I raise my 1 liter of Pepsi to my coffee friend & to Nick as long as I keep digging through 3200ct & 5000ct boxes at shows or shops I will think of you. As I picture my coffee friend as Woody Boyd to my Tavern & Nick I see you as my good friend Paul quiet guy that felt left out from the regulars at Cheers as for Coach just say that honor goes to Greg my friend from The Collective Mind blog sorry but as for the Norm Peterson & Cliff Clavin friends they are quite simple they're Fuji & Bo 2 guys that usually post on most of my posts I'll leave it to them to figure out who's who lol. As for Fraiser Craine well.....that honor will go to the legend himself Mr. Night Owl. I leave now with my usual sign off from Rogers Hornsby about signing autographs for kids "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
