My limited knowledge of older stadiums limits my ability to identify them for this set.<br /><br />Keeping track of the borders is a pretty good idea, similar to the Night Owl's 75T blog.<br /><br />My first post is going to be this Saturday, so I have a couple of more days to tweak the post lineup.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317401112145746593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-81162214176798714742014-10-01T16:07:13.571-04:002014-10-01T16:07:13.571-04:00Learning about the players is always cool, but don...Learning about the players is always cool, but don't forget to talk about the <i>card</i>, too. Like, what do you think of the photo? What stadium is that? What do you think of the write-up and cartoon on the back. I always like getting a blogger's personal take on a card, not just a bio on the player.. but maybe that's just me. Another cool thing is when set blogs try to link players together.. like, "this guy was later a teammate of (the last guy)." And with 59 Topps, you might want to do stuff like keep a running count of the different border colors. Maybe a quick evaluation of the facsimile signature on each card? Just some ideas throwing out there.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231164411392128420.post-74771686005838241432014-10-01T16:06:00.242-04:002014-10-01T16:06:00.242-04:00Don't want anything for the cards, just wanted...Don't want anything for the cards, just wanted you to know they were coming.
