Don Draper ain’t got nothing on the cardboard industry. Actually, the folks at Sterling Cooper, etc. etc. are much better at placing ads than card companies. Corporations will throw ads into everything. Billboards. Guerrilla Marketing. Product Placement. Promoted Content. Commercials for one product that also has other products in it. I actually found it kind […] If I’m going to make this blog work for my schedule and my stupidly obsessive scanning and digital cataloging process, I need to shorten the heck out of them. Part of my pending burn out was the internal pressure to show a whole trade in one post, no matter how large. I want to show […] This weekend I went to a card show for the first time since attending the NSCC. It’s a monthly show down in Orland Park, which is a bit of a drive for me. I’ve never made it out to this venue, but I’ve been itching to search some bins and it’s advertised as 70 Tables […] In June of 2014, I went to a card show in Rockford.

I’m very sorry that I haven’t for a while. Nick M […] The mind is a funny thing. I love my mind and take pride in my level of competence and ability to learn quickly. However, the mind is also a disappointing thing, and an unreliable thing. I’ve quickly learned that I can’t rely on the short-term memory side of my brain. That’s why I prepared for […] I know people are probably anxious to see posts recapping my adventure at the 2015 National Sports Collectors Convention, but that’s going to wait a bit longer as I organize more stuff. For now, here’s a package that basically feels like a mini-National. Brian from Play at the Plate has always been a great supporter […] One of the side effects of being away from the blog for over a year is that when you go back to trade posts, you completely forget what the trade was or what you sent. That’s just a side effect. I don’t really care what I sent over. If the cards were that important to […] |
