In my attic, I have a few random boxes of Yankees stuff from growing up. I literally have nowhere to display it, so in the boxes it sits.
One of the more unique items found in one of the boxes is a mini Wheaties box featuring Lou Gehrig. I know I get this at a discount store at some point in the early 2000s for a few bucks. It's pretty cool, although the clam shell plastic case is just so bulky.
It even has a 24K gold facsimile signature!
What I didn't realize is that the mini cereal box (which is unopened) is actually in a plastic case of its own. So I guess I could free it from the clam shell.
One day, I hope to have a mancave to display these odds and ends, but for now, in the attic it stays.
However, if I'm ever looking for a morning snack to start the day off right, I know just where to look.
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.
If you eat those and drink a Crystal Pepsi you have Youtube gold on your hands.
ReplyDeleteI really miss cards in cereal boxes. (and other foods too).
ReplyDeleteYou're finally up in the game
I love finding those forgotten goodies. Cool item
ReplyDeleteCool item. I remember these from back in the day. I'm pretty sure I saw one for Tiger Woods at the last mall show I attended. If they made one for any of the teams or players I PC'd, I'd be all over it.
