If it's a mystery crease (on a card that I obtained from the secondary market) then it's like it has it's own story that hasn't been told.EggRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595253834504194842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-53256045898089366132012-06-30T19:35:43.576-04:002012-06-30T19:35:43.576-04:00I had another different name for my blog, but I de...I had another different name for my blog, but I decided on The Baseball Card Snob, because I guess I really am a snob. Not in the way I look at other collectors. To each his own in what you want to collect and in what condition.<br /><br />But for me, I need my cards as close to perfect as possible. Why? Not quite sure. Some of it may be money related, not wanting to spend good money on something that looks like it went through the wash. Some of it might be that I just like things to be perfect, I think it's the Virgo in me.The Baseball Card Snobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810899668654576874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-80909073430545565062012-06-28T16:02:01.803-04:002012-06-28T16:02:01.803-04:00Of course, the first step is admitting you have a ...Of course, the first step is admitting you have a problem. I have no problem with the beat up cards as long as they come from the time before I started collecting. Plus, I've always been too cheap to shell out the cash for nice, old cards.runfore!kelloggs baseball cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510208254513705478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-34380501632880086232012-06-27T23:29:08.061-04:002012-06-27T23:29:08.061-04:00@dodgers88,

You and I get along because we collect in a similar way (luckily different teams) and that way is very ridged, which makes it seem snobby. I prefer to think of it as particular.<br /><br />Oh, and the only thing worse than graded cards are graded comic books. what the hell is the point of a comic book you can't even read?!?!jacobmrleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991748868368917576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-32398283503748486352012-06-27T20:46:29.485-04:002012-06-27T20:46:29.485-04:00Hey there...I owe you some serious cardage from ab...Hey there...I owe you some serious cardage from about two or three years ago when you sent me one of your enormous boxes of duplicate Dodgers. I was inactive for a couple of years, sorry it's taken so long to get you back on this...I feel horrible about it. Any way you could come up with a list of known inserts/parallels/short prints from more recent (2009-2012) product you still need? I figure you're solid on base at this point.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Thomas aka Dodgers88Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-28550162037786482152012-06-27T20:46:24.353-04:002012-06-27T20:46:24.353-04:00i suppose if i truly couldn't stand 1975 topps...i suppose if i truly couldn't stand 1975 topps, i wouldn't have any of it in my collection. so, i'll just say it's not my favorite.<br /><br />and, i am always up to receive some of your doubles. i'll take a wander through your want lists (again) and try to find some base needs for you.gcrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882449679093991427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-36258781216502086772012-06-27T20:23:15.364-04:002012-06-27T20:23:15.364-04:00A card from an outhouse would probably be my thres...A card from an outhouse would probably be my threshold.
