I've accepted that people collect for different reasons and as long as they aren't going out of their way to hurt others (like running scams), then I can deal with it.<br /><br />Have fun! Hope you're able to find some nice stuff for your collection.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-1382774220604511472021-07-22T08:43:03.365-05:002021-07-22T08:43:03.365-05:00Those minor league cards are fantastic!Those minor league cards are fantastic!Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955725607806692792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-16644153691857675882021-07-22T08:26:06.379-05:002021-07-22T08:26:06.379-05:00Definitely on the same page as you here.

Anyway I'll be there this year along with The Collective Mind blogger hopefully we can run into each other.POISON75https://www.blogger.com/profile/13879075309878614063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-50963428420409615892021-07-22T00:30:27.421-05:002021-07-22T00:30:27.421-05:00That would be the most exciting thing to see what ...That would be the most exciting thing to see what you bring back.
