  1. Nicely done! Nice to see vintage Craig Swan in there (I'm a Mets fan, that's where I go.) And nice to see the AAPGBL get some love.

    I'm reminding of the Bob & Doug McKenzie version of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" where they try to figure out what the 12 days are. They name Christmas Eve, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, and then they're stuck. "There's two Saturdays and two Sundays in there." They decide the three remaining days are the "mystery days".

  3. Cool! I was thinking "are those all his cards?" until I got to that signed Cardinals card. Then I knew.

    1. I "borrowed" some from the internet. Dennis Dove does not follow my rules!

  4. Nice very cool. As a DC sports fan it is extra cool to see an old Senator in there. Oh and also the AAPGBL being represented.
