Night Owl Cards

As I slowly pull back from collecting modern releases, some of my collecting goals have gone by the wayside. My stated mission is to have every Dodgers card (and Dodgers prospects card).

Dime Box Nick recently sent me some cards and you know how well he does unearthing obscure items from the past and present from the many dime boxes that sprout out of the ground out there.
