And while the mileage is good, I would not recommend a Prius for mountain climbing. There isn't a lot of power in the engine, and I was really straining heading up to Nederland and Estes Park. Did take a small tour of The Stanley, where "The Shining" was filmed. No card shopping on this trip, though. No time or money to visit Bill's Sports Cards.

Fleer made minis? What sorcery is this? It shows how out of the loop I was with card collecting in the early 80's that I have never known about these minis (compared in size to a recent Topps insert). Kerry sent 5 of these bad boys over. Not sure if that is the whole Sox set, but I know I now have more research to do.
I'm still working on all the
Late 90's and early 00's cards are welcome here. As I have mentioned in the past, in the Sox box, the years from 1998-2005 are surprisingly light considering the number of sets released in that time frame. And I'm just going to say it: I think Fleer Tradition did a better job with the '56 set than 2005 Heritage.
Shiny! Tatis is a purple parallel from this year's Bowman numbered to 250. The Shark is an Opening Day parallel. And while Eaton looks normal on the front, the back is a Sabermetrics variation. A fine addition to the Eaton collection.
So I didn't find anything out west. But the cards from the west found me.
Welcome back to IL. Too bad you couldn't make it to Bill's. I understand completely though... that's a card shop I can easily lose an entire afternoon in without blinking an eye.
ReplyDelete2001 Fleer Tradition is such an amazing set. I like it almost as much as The Shining... which I need to go watch right now to remove that horrid video/song from my memory banks.
