Guys, I need some help here. Napkin Doon, one of my favorite "card bloggers" out there, is hanging it up. I knew this day wasn't far off, but it still feels like a bit of a punch to gut. Or maybe it was the questionable cream cheese I had on my bagel this morning.
Seriously though, his blog is one of the most witty, enjoyable, and, in my opinion, underrated blogs out there. I always enjoy reading about his adventures at his local card shop, or who in town has the best hot dog.
There was a time when my blog was inactive for six months or so, and he'd still check in and do some posts looking for me.
Regardless of what his decision is, go show the blog known as Napkin Doon (what the hell does it mean?) some love today and over the next few weeks, before he gets his Mariano Rivera-like sendoff.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Aw, man....I hadn't heard. I loved Nap's blog and will be sad to see him go (sounds like he has made up his mind). I just went over and left my mark on his goodbye post.....Long Live Cleve's!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out. Not sure I deserve a Rivera type send off. Maybe a Kameron Loe type send off. But appreciate the sentiment!
