It reminds us of the human connection we all need.

Maybe one of these days you'll be at a card show digging through some dime boxes and you'll suddenly bump elbows with your long lost buddy.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-31560532883318377772015-08-12T03:06:36.799-04:002015-08-12T03:06:36.799-04:00Unrelated, but I am expecting a '75 Lou Brock ...Unrelated, but I am expecting a '75 Lou Brock in the mail from a Listia auction soon.maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-3578699030080042052015-08-11T19:00:23.785-04:002015-08-11T19:00:23.785-04:00That's one of the values of having an LCS.

Always talk cards and sports at the LCS.

Work always gives you that common bond, but once that is out I think your personalities have to match up to keep the bond alive.

It makes me kind of sad to think about it that way, but I've got to think you're right. <br /><br />We just moved to a new house and I have a larger office area. The closet in the office has been designated as the baseball card closet. We had a housewarming party and a number of my friends from college came. I wasn't too keen about them seeing the card closet. I guess I'm a little embarrassed - though not enough to spend hours moving everything to the basement :) <br /><br />A few guys did see it and mentioned it. I told them I was collecting every Topps card since 1980, and they actually thought that was kind of cool. Then we went back to watching our 3 year olds and drinking beer. I didn't offer up that I have a blog with 1300+ posts, though :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-20974363304727751272015-08-10T21:54:11.721-04:002015-08-10T21:54:11.721-04:00You might be able to get his contact information f...You might be able to get his contact information from your HR department. I did that after hearing one of my ex-coworkers was in the hospital. I was always talkative with him but never learned his last name. If its for a good cause, HR usually helps out.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150792970138123909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84967003771337762472015-08-10T20:28:48.361-04:002015-08-10T20:28:48.361-04:00This is the point in the story when we, as card bl...This is the point in the story when we, as card bloggers, each stand up ala Kirk Douglas (https://youtu.be/FKCmyiljKo0) and state emphatically:<br /><br />"I'M CARL!"<br /><br />Who's going first?JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.com
