Yeah, about that post title, I don't like saying that about myself at all. Parallels actually aren't what I love the most about collecting, the 1975 Topps mini set an exception, obviously. I most love vintage cards and '70s-style oddballs and filling some early '80s set needs. But those favorite pursuits take a lot more doing these days, with prices rising and card shows in short supply. Collectors simply don't have those readily on hand. And, as a veteran collector -- I've been at this, off and on, for 40 years you know -- there just aren't a lot of the "regular cards" that I need anymore, even if it seems to me like there are tons and tons of base cards avoiding my collection. So, if you're sending me cards -- and please do -- know that you're welcome to try to find base cards that might fit into my collection, but probably the most direct way to my collecting heart, the absolute guarantee of a forever home in my binders, is to send me ...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
