Welcome

Wait til Next Year . . . is making a come back.

I am going to mix a bit of the philosophy of my life into this blog as I continue to highlight some of my baseball card collection. (hoping the card collectors of this world welcome me back)

Its been a tough 18 months for me . . . the Chicago Cubs have had it rough as well.


This site will be devoted to all those who need to define what "wait til next year" means.

My First Bubble Mailer

I have had many first in my life and today I added one to that list.
I received my First Bubble Mailer.
Yes cards in the mail from Cliff at Capewood Collection

Cliff sent me the three cards I needed to complete the 1991 Fleer Pro Vision set my daughter really really likes.

Other firsts in my life I can share with you of equal proportion are:

my first steps taken (1961 according to folk lore)
my first job in 1973 (cleaning golf clubs in Glencoe Illinois)
my first car 1976 (a 1974 Datsun B 210 named the Bumble Bee)
my first wedding 1986 (only had one, Karen)
my first house I bought 1987 (Buffalo Grove Illinois)
my first child born July 18, 1991 (only have one, Jennifer)
my first Bubble Mailer (from Cliff, January 12, 2009)


Thank you Cliff. My daughter thanks you too !

Help for my Daughter ?


Can someone help me . . . my daughter who was born in 1991 loves these cards and I am missing three (3).

These are a Fleer 1991 subset of only 12 cards (I think they were called Pro-vision ?). I am missing # 7, Gooden, #11 Mattingly and #12 Strawberry. They are illustrated by T Smith and have a look like the 1971 with the black border yet with a very modern and "out of this world" feel.

This set has nicknames for players like #1 Kirby Puckett is Dynamite, Bo Jackson # 5 is Bionic Bo and Eric Davis # 10 is All Universe.

Anyone interested ? I have many options for trade.
