I said I'd be supplying updates on my progress working toward a "100 Greatest Cards of the 1980s" countdown, so this is one of those. I've reached 1985 in my search for the greatest cards. That's about halfway, although really it's not, since the latter half of the decade is when the amount of cards exploded and why this countdown will be so much more difficult than the 1970s Greatest Cards one that I did a couple of years ago. I dutifully marked down the cards that were candidates for the countdown, but as usual, I came across other things that I found notable. Specifically donuts. What the heck happened to baseball donuts? Now before you accuse this of being another "everything was better before" post, please know that I don't really care whether baseball donuts exist or not. With the exception of night cards, I don't have idiosyncratic collections like "baseball donuts on cards." So it doesn't matter to me muc...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
