I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

RIP - Bob Turley
Baseball and the TTM community lost another gem, as "Bullet" Bob Turley passed away on Saturday. Turley was a Cy Young Award winner with the Yanks, and was always a very generous signer. He resides in my Topps Yankees Collection for 1956.

More vintage trading with Simon
Simon of 7 Hours from Tampa Bay is one of my favorite trading partners. He always comes across cool Yankees relics and great vintage cards, and always keeps me in mind. He sent me an email with four vintage Yanks, three of which I didn't have. I offered a few dupes that I had from my 1968 Topps Game set quest, and a trade was born.
I love the Turley. Bullet Bob is a pretty great TTM signer, so I may send this to him. I just haven't decided yet, as I do already have a signed Turley card. We shall see.
This 1975 Thurman Munson is too cool. I'm actually trying to collect all of Munson's Topps base cards, so this was a welcome addition.
And you can never go wrong with a 1958 Topps. So cool. The pink is random, but I kind of like it.
Simon, thanks as always for thinking of me!
