Wow! Time does fly bye…and I’ve gotten out of the habit of Posting new articles on my infamous/famous? Vblog.
Well…this is Maverick, re-engaging
Oops…so sorry…but after witnessing the HUGE box office TOP GUN – Maverick
Could NOT pass up this photo op
Vblog up
Now…where was I when I packed up my ‘after-burners’…last.
Oh…yeah….doing brief wry commentaries on latest news stories, and such.
Here’s a blast off the bat of the New York Yankees….I meant to Say ‘TIMES”
Page 7
And, nooo…it ain’t concerning Aaron (‘All Rise’) Judge….and if he may skip out on the Yanquis and play by where the 3 year old ponies ride at the Belmont stakes! Citi Field??
Nahh…I’m talking about a mere piece of cardboard…
Roughly the size of a flattened chunk of Bazooka Bubble Gum
Adorned with the rookie “The Mick”
(no not the mouse dancing around in Orlando, Florida)
But this one…whose Topps baseball card could fetch a cool $10.000,000 at auction!!
MINT condition….no bends at corners, or other visible wear and tear.
Can you imagine? I actually remember having THAT card in my hand, oncce upon a time…
I mean….what a FOOL I was! IF ONLY, my Momma and Pappa had imparted some WISDOM on me (of the financial type)…
And pointed out: “Son…you’re throwing MONEY into the fire!”
“What?” I’d probably had replied, with a touch of rebellion…picked up from Eddie Haskell from “Leave it to Beaver”
“Hush your mouth…and put that thing in plastic! It’s gonna be worth MILLIONS by the time you gray!”
HOW I wished they had told me, the TRUTH. No wonder by he late 60’s we had the WHO and other ‘British Invaders’ having snap up the round, frisbee-like discs we’d spin at 45 or 33 RPMs
Belting out songs? And busting up expensive drum kits and guitars, like these:
Maybe we won’t get fooled again? Meantime…should we sing the …could of…should of…would of….
Put the Mick in Plastic…and not bang off the corners of the card against brick walls in school yards…’cos ya depreciate ya heirloom, Sport fans!
And let that be a lesson to all you young whippersnappers!! Juan Soto in a Washington Nationals baseball card? Pre-trade to San Diego Padres.
Holy Cow! (as ‘the Scooter’ Phil Rizzuto exclaimed. Tuck the card in Plastic, before youse guys and gals LOSS a Fortune…by scaling it against brick walls!
