I always search "baseball" on the local Craigslist to see what items are up for sale. I have picked up anything from a bucket of wiffle balls for $1 to the original Bill James Historical Abstract. This past week I saw an ad for someone selling boxes of baseball cards for each team for $10.   I figured I would get a few hundred Angel Salzars and Ed Hearns, but what the heck, my one year old needed something new to chew on. I contacted the person and to my utter amazement, the Royals box was not yet sold. One morning on my way to work, I met the seller and got my box of cards.

I decided that I take myself back to childhood and enjoy the cards. I would actually read the back for those interesting facts like:

Frank White has hit for the cycle twice in his career.

I wouldn't care for the condition and plan on showing my daughter how to put a card on her bike to make a motor sound.

Here are some of the highlights for me so far:

Bo Jackson looks good on any card.

What are the companies thinking when they choose the picture. Here are 6 that stuck out.

1. Storm Davis pointing to another home run he allowed

2. Bill Buckner with a pipe in the 5 hole showing hitters where he can't field

3. Appier(?) taking fielding practice

4. Gubiza sporting a sweet mullet

5. Sietzer acting as if he is about to drop a load in his pants Greorge Brett style

6. Stillwell giving his best Jordan imitation with the tongue sticking out.

I got my share of Ed Hearn and Angel Salazars

We used to have a good team.

If you ever get a chance to pick up a bunch of cards on the cheap, I would highly recommend it. Heck, if you ever get bored of the cards, just put them up for sale of Craigslist and find some other sentimental sucker that will pay you for them.
