    My favorite would be the Dover reprint of his 1933 DeLong Gum #17 card. I love that set.

Still on Break

 Once again, I’m just trying to keep blogger alive (does it ever die?). I continue to collect, but am not motivated yet to post. Hopefully I will someday soon. After all, what’s a collection if no one but you sees it? Stay well, CinciCuse Bill

A Big Birthday: Part 1

Yep. I had one of those very big birthdays this past weekend. To celebrate (mildly), I made a few ebay purchases to add to my Cincinnati Reds National Baseball Hall of Famers cards (e.g., Bench, Morgan, etc.) and Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famers cards (e.g., Tom Browning, Pete Rose, etc.) to add to my collections. Heeeeeere's Johnny! 2010 Topps, card #US-330. The red ' C ' on the front looks more like a Cubs-shaped logo rather than the Reds traditional wishbone ' C .' Uncorrected error?   1993 Ted Williams Memories '75,  card #M16. 2013 Topps Museum Collection, card #29. This card has thicker than normal stock. You'd think in 2013 that Topps would come up with a different photo than the 1993 Ted Williams card above.   2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces, card #98. 2015 Panini / Donruss All-Time Diamond Kings, card #13. 1984 Topps - 1983 All-Star, card #22 of 22. 1981 Topps / Coca Cola, card #1. 2001 Upper Deck Hall of Fame Gallery, card #G11. 2003 Topps Gallery, card
