Night Owl Cards

All right. I am absolutely certain that this card is a night card. There can be no dispute. We have the lights on. We have the dark sky. We have Jerald Clark bathed in illuminosity.

If the forecast doesn't change, and that's always a possibility, I'll be sending my merry little self down the interstate to Collectorsfest 50 in Syracuse. I know a lot of you like the autographs, but I'll be at the show strictly for the cards. So I won't be saying "hello" to Bye Bye Balboni, who is the announced autograph...
