Good Morning From The Blog

It's a muggy day in the neighborhood, one that is fit to welcome Andy from 88 Topps to our talented and prolific stable of writers at A Pack A Day.

Also, wanted to extend a Hello to all of you who found your way over here from the ESPN The Magazine website. Welcome to The Baseball Card Blog! (If you're reading this and you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here.)

And one last note, later today I'll be resurrecting the Pre-1980s Countdown (back by reader demand). It will be much, much shorter than the chapter-long essays I've done on previous sets in previous countdowns, but it will be fun.

If you can't think of a better way to spend your day than to get caught up to where I am in the Pre-1980s Countdown, here are a few helpful links:
