Hey Gang,
It has been a while since I posted on here. Life has been very hectic since I got laid off back in early June. Instead of being downtrodden and depressed, I treated the layoff as a means to enjoy the summer. I have spent the time looking at starting my own business (No it is not opening up a card shop!), look at different employment and career options, applying for jobs, going through a plethora of interviews, and most of all spending time with my almost 2 year old boy.
In the back of my mind, I was missing the cards and the hobby very much. I pretty my avoided scenarios whereby I was spending any cash on the cards for my collections or buying and selling collections. I would drive by the local walmart (yes the local walmart) and looking at the cards on the shelf. I took pride that I didn't succumb to my own will to say screw it and buy cards.
This morning, I took a break from everything and picked up a box of cards I already own. The amount of peace I felt by just sorting my cards, was amazing. I seem to notice new things about the cards I own. The placement of the autograph, the descriptions on the backs etc. Then I noticed something I have taken for granted. On some of the cards, in behind the players are the fans. There are some bloody interesting shots of fans in the background. So I figured I needed to start another card related thread. Life is not always about what is in front of you, but what goes on in the periphery. It made me smile. A small win again for me in that I could look at the same card and find another interesting tidbit about it.
Show us all some cool shots of cards with interesting or funny fan shots in the background. I'd post some but i have forgotten where I placed the stack of cards with this theme. Instead of trying to find them, I'd let some of y'all post some stuff.
