That would be nice but it's a two hour drive to the nearest one. My meaning is that I have received things and I have sent stuff out.
I went to the local card show last Saturday. I headed straight for one table where I knew the dealer had 1965 Topps Football. I picked up 14 cards and now only need 152 to finish the set. Luckily I got some ebay gift cards for Christmas and was able to pick up the checklists for a reasonable price. I have gotten one in and am waiting on the other. They were kind of expensive, but then I still have Broadway Joe on the wantlist. I also used some of the gift cards to further my pursuit of the 65 Philadelphia Football Set, I am down to just needing 7 cards to finish that set. Jim Brown and Mel Renfro are the biggest names still needed. On the outgoing side, I finished sorting all the packs and boxes that I got for Christmas. So I packaged most of them up and sent them out. Jim, Greg, Tom, Tim, Kerry, Jeremy, and Chris you are all receiving packages from me. One of you is also getting a poster in a mailing tube.
Thanks for stopping by.

I had to miss that last show, coaching a travel softball team is taking a lot of my time. Supposedly, there is an In-N-Out coming to Ridgefield sometime 'soon'. Then it's only a 35 minute drive!
I was so happy when we finally got In-N-Out here in Texas, I go often. What I haven't been to in at least a decade is a card show, and boy do I miss them. Congrats on the pickups, and thanks for thinking of me.
Good luck in finishing the vintage football set. Do you have a list of your needs? I never know what I will find at local card shows and flea markets.
Last summer I went up to Portland to visit my friends. A few days later we drove down to Ashland and along the way we stopped at In and Out. I love their burgers! Not a big fan of their fries though.
Checklists can be frustrating parts of set builds. Those look great! I was able to get some in-n-out when I was in Houston last month. Double double with lettuce, ketchup, and mustard. The best.
Thanks for all the great stuff you've sent me recently! I'm woefully behind in blogging about this stuff as usual, but I'll get around to it all eventually. I have a stack of stuff set aside for you that is starting to grow in size.
