My wife surprised me with a membership to the Hall (i KNOW). We rented a cabin a few miles north on the lake. Here's a few photos of the Hall and the town and the area:<br />http://textor.smugmug.com/Travel/New-York-October-2012/Cooperstown/25897084_Vh93cV#!i=2146174357&k=PsDxz98<br /><br />I certainly am jealous of anybody who can make this a day trip.<br /><br />BTW...I really liked the HOF cards until you pointed out all the bumped heads.

I absolutely love the area from there east to the Hudson and down to Tarrytown. I'd like to retire to there one day soon.<br /><br />The cards of the 'old timers' work better for me because I'm more used to seeing them without a cap logo, or at least I don't miss it as much. The Honus Wagner is a pretty nice card.

I went to check a few days ago, but mine didn't have anything.<br /><br />I put a box of this set on my Christmas list. I'm not sure if that's because I like these or if I simply didn't have anything else to ask for.<br /><br />I think it's just because it has been far too long since we've seen an all-legend set like Cooperstown. It's certainly not on the level of Fan Favorites or Legendary Cuts, but I'm still liking these nonetheless, even with the "head-banging" qualities.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.com
