I think the others have put it best, an amazing finish. Possibly the best post ever. Thanks for everything. And if you ever get around to writing the next draft of that book, drop me a line.
Great stuff! Good use of the faux autographs with the poem -- 82 Topps JR Richard! Also like the 88 Fleer Billy FF Ripken card! Thanks for the many hours you must've put toward this project.
Ben -- I am finally getting around to making these into a collage and I see there are some dup cards and some missing. Starting from the repeat of the 68 Allen through the Oscar Gamble.
Nooooo!!! I thought I found another great card Blog, but yet I was too late. Great post but please don't end it. But do, at least, put in some small posts occasionally. have you checked out the topps virtual cards? Joshuathompsonm3@gmail.com
Nice play on the card names, I had never seen anything done with these cards that us collectors would be very familiar with. Nicely done in a funny way :)
Bravo Mr. Henry. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteIt has been one awesome ride. And I for one am glad to have gotten on when I did.
Good luck with whatever the future brings for you.
Sincerely,
