Lately I've really been getting back into my old baseball cards. I went with my dad to a show where he rented a table and had a really good time. I've probably been dropping a few too many pesos on my re-energized passion here recently, but it's likely also saved me money; as in I would have spent the same amount of cash (or more) on booze or some other vise.
There are some pretty awesome cards on the market...baseball, other sports, and non-sport cards alike. A few weeks ago I bought 5 unopened packs of 2002 Topps cards. They were from a series called 'American Pie'. It's considered a baseball card set, but also has cards of movie stars, past presidents, American writers, etc...hence 'American Pie.' I pulled an Elvis Presley card that was embedded with a small piece of an authenticated worn shirt. It was pretty cool. If anyone on this board ever collected any sort of cards, he or she can remember that feeling of pulling out a card they were really excited about.
What's everyone else been up to?

Adrein had a rookie Ryan Sandberg autographed card given to him in a plaque. I put it in the attic, then got scared that if the roof leaked it would ruin. So I put it in the basement, and got scared that something bad would happen to it down there... So I have it in his fireproof safe with his bonds, and I'm still nervous.. I hate baseball cards. I think he's going to be gay anyways so I won't have to worry about it...
