I just keep finding things

 Most of the past few months of recovery, have been finding things.  Such as these OPC retro cards.  I was searching on a ledge in my office where I have my collection, and I found a box of these.

I really would like to finish this off someday.  You guys know me very well, I live in a parallel universe as far as sets go.  I have always liked these cards, so finding these kind of rekindle a fire inside.  Once I get my eyes fixed in a few weeks, sets like this can become a focus.

I would like to get a few more of these in the collection and then go from there.  I just looked at the back, and it said 2018-19 OPC, OMG has it been that long since I started this??   It is hard to believe.  As I go along, I'll keep you updated,

Have a great day and keep yourself healthy.  Robert

Remembering the insanity and hoping for this year

 Insanity is all over the place here at my residence Those were the days.  Joey Bats was the big slugger in Toronto.  Just came out of nowhere and developed into a superstar.  

And now we head to 2026 with a new cast and crew.  Vladdy Guerrero, George Spinger and a noteworthy group of players head toward another chance at the World Series.  Unfortunately, Bo Bichette has moved on.  We shall see if the replacement for him in the lineup will meet the expectations.  

With the pitching signings they made, I am going to predict 90 wins.  I think this group, after what I saw in the playoffs, if they stay healthy, can produce some runs.

Here's hoping, Robert

I rememvber these two guys

 Sweetness and O.J.  a pair of the greatest running backs ever to play.  Man, could they run.  Their elusiveness was incredible.  Topps, imaged tp get them both on the same card.  Can't complain about that.

1973 was O.J.s breakout season, 11 100-yard games, 2 for over 200+ yards, The 3 games he didn't get to 100, they lost. The final 2 games of that year he ran for over 7 yards a carry.  Impressive numbers.

How about on the other side of the ball.  Lester Hayes was one of the great CB's of the 70's.  I've got to work on finishing these pair of sets.  Great card era for football I have to say.  How about 13 interceptions in 1980??  Maybe QB's thought they were throwing the ball to him.

have a great day, Robert

I remember that Dodgers guy

Do the Dodgers create pitchers out of thin air??  It seems like they just get new ones every year.

These are just a few examples of pitching prowess.  We're getting close to Spring Training!!  Another year for the Jays to try their hand at a World Series ring.

I am working on getting recent photos scanned and usable on the blog, which is working so far!

Greg, hope you are doing well in snowy upstate New York, it is crazy weather this year.  Speaking of that, I've been in Florida 10 years now and I experienced ice on the windshield for the first time.  UGH

Hope everyone is surviving the wintry blasts!!  Be safe, Robert

Can't please all the people--CPAP

1959 Topps, I remember why I scanned this.  I know the set is close to completion.  Need Yogi Berra and Sandy Koufax and Mickey Mantle among other stars.  

I remember scanning Larry Fitzgerald cards, love these that I got from an old envelope from Dennis who sent me some cardboard goodness a couple of years back.  Talk about a posting delay!!

It feels good to figure out this stuff again.  

Seeing as it is near Olympic time, how about an old photo of Andrew McCutchen in a USA baseball uniform??  It took me 3 tries to type uniform!!  LOL

Feeling better even though what I am typing is random, of course.  Random?  sure, you can't CPAP--Can't please all people with my posts.  But I am trying.  

Have fun everyone!!  Robert
