Just sayin' hey! With a little help from the "Say Hey Kid"

The last couple of days have been very busy for me, and as someone who tries to lead as stress free of a life as possible, I can honestly say... I don't like it one bit.

My mom will be having what she calls a "minor surgery" tomorrow, although I'm of the opinion that if an anesthesiologist is involved, it no longer qualifies for minor surgery status. It's kind of funny, she's not nervous about it at all, while I would be lying if I said I wasn't, which should tell you a little about her, and a lot about me. My nervousness probably stems from the fact that as a kid I spent more than my fair share of time around doctors, and in hospitals, so I tend to now have what could be called a strong aversion to both. So needless to say, I have been trying to help out in anyway I can, since she won't be able to do a whole lot for the next couple of weeks.

So because of that, I have a very short post today, in which I take a recent page out of Tony's playbook, and show you my Willie:

I am of course referring to this 1964 Topps Willie Mays that was part of my COMC stockpile. Shame on you if you thought I was talking about something else, I'm trying to run a family friendly blog here:)

This was yet another card that COMC had listed in poor to fair condition, which like the Nellie Fox bowman I posted about recently, I just don't see. While far from mint, crease free as it is I would have at least designated this as good. But I guess it doesn't really matter, I got it, and I'm very happy with it... so who cares what someone else classified it's condition as.

P.S. To the couple of people that I said I would be sending stuff out to, because of the above mentioned stuff, I'm a few days behind on that. So everything will be going out this Saturday, my apologies for the delay.


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
