Freshly arrived, this book is about to get dog-eared and worn out as I continue my delve into Hank Aaron’s life for my next video. While it will include elements of Hank’s experience, it’s primarily built around his 1954 Topps card and what it symbolizes.

Henry Sandham's 1894 painting is lost, but the engraving (a "Goupilgravure") survives. Not better when colorized, by contemporary or later hands, it depicts a Temple Cup contest between Baltimore and host New York.

Most collectors don’t realize their 1955 Bowman cards are in fact fully functioning mini-tv sets 😉 #cardsky

Part of the joy of crafting my videos is researching and discovering photographs that I have not previously seen. Here are a few engaging images of Ty Cobb that will be used in my next piece. #cardsky

Just concluded a contest on my hobby livestream where regulars were asked to submit a photo of their crummy, worn-out baseball cap. Each cap had a history, a story to tell. Turned out to be a fun and endearing way to see friends in the hobby.
