BACK TO THE GRIND ON MONDAY

            

               Just recently when I attended this months show at the Livonia VFW Hall (Feb. 9th) I had to do fast shopping cause I had to be back in time for work at my Dollar General job & not be able to watch the Super Bowl the first time in over 15 years cause my boss had scheduled me to work & then make matters worse I was starting to feel a little under the weather. I meant to do this post before the passing of my little brother whom I talked about in my last post. I want to thank you again from my family during this time. Anyways I am back to the grind today.  I have been updating my pages to help out on any missing names I needed to add to my long lists of items to find still. On Saturday I received my PWE from my Super Bowl winning contest from 3rd Floor where I guessed in saying Philadelphia would win with Jalen Hurts as my MVP so thanks again 3rd Floor I liked the Billy Sims heck I know my little brother is smiling from his view point cause that is one name he recalls as well Barry Sanders when watching the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

          On Saturday I had the day off & needed to get out of town so I headed to a shop in Ypsilani which is where the campus of Eastern Michigan is located & a few minutes away from Fanny Farbor the home of the Wolvewhiners who unfortunately have a 4 year winning streak against THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. I hadn't been to the Stadium Comics & Cards since last year. Mark the owner is a nice guy back in 2010 he helped me complete my 1975 Topps Mini set. As I was perusing through the singles for my needs I came across this fine of a set that seems very scarce to locate in the wild for $20 I couldn't pass it up. 

Not a bad pick up for $20 eh!!!!

            The cards look like the Michael Jordan featured on the top of this post I already had the `89/`90 Hoops Superstars set so I figured if I passed on it someone else would stumble on it & pick it up so after much debating in my head I went for it I am glad I did. Cause usually when I pass up on something I later kick myself in not going for it. After spending most of the time there I headed back to work on my post that your currently reading now about. With that said I am reminded of Rogers Hornsby who was managing the St Louis Browns when he reminded his players about signing autographs for kids "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
