3 WEEKS TO GO

 

                  Just 3 weeks from today I am hoping still to be at the 2025 National Sports Card Convention in Chicago. For the past 5 days starting last week Friday on the 4th of July I've been busting my hump at Dollar General while my Store Manager was on her vacation nice eh!!!! Anyways the reason I am saying I am hoping still is my Store Manager has yet to let me know I can take time off from work. If anyone who's been following my blog knows I have done a lot for the company only to be given a cold shoulder attitude back cause I requested for this time off way back in January of this year & recently am being treated like a pawn that my job should come first & am not allowed to go on this trip. With that I am calling B.S.!!!!!! 

              The card you see at the top of my post was a give away during the 2010 National in Baltimore. I still have it in its sealed pack that it came in I am looking forward to what goodies that will be given away to the VIPs as I mentioned in my June 23rd post I am still on the fence on whom I want to get signed if I go for any of the autographs.  I am also doing a small countdown to when my friend & fellow blogger & the guy whom we don't need to identify but we can all say we know its the guy from THE COLLECTIVE MIND blog aka Greg. We're just 12 days in hopes that he arrives in Michigan for his visit. I have great shops for him to go & explore as well some of the old places he has visited as well. Even though he won't mention it on his blog cause he has been busy with his work as well other things I'll mention it here so keep watching for reports from his trip through our blogs hopefully he'll find the time to post when he visits. I hope to share some of our insights as well. 

I end this post by saying that some of you Fuji,Mike Matson,Night Owl,Angels Tom, The winner of my 1 year anniversary post contest,My new Little Brother Jeremy watch your mailboxes I'll be heading to the post office today mailing out nice goodies to add your collections. Until then remember that All-Star Rogers Hornsby once said about signing autographs. "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
