With all due respect to Kevin Costner in Bull Durham, "Well, I believe in the soul... the c*ck...the p&$$y... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap... I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

Personally, I believe:

With the exception of Conlon photos, generally color cards are superior to black and white cards

T206 portraits are overrated.

T205 cards are superior to T206.

Pete and Joe Jax should have to buy a ticket to get into the HOF.

Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly, Smokey Joe Wood and Lefty O'Doul should be in the HOF.

1954 Topps is the worst Topps set of the 1950s.

The A's of the 1970's are underrated.

90% of the shiny new stuff will severely depreciate in the next five years.

Teddy Ballgame was a better player (on the field) than Joltin' Joe. Off the field is another story.

Baseball cards from the mid 1930's to 1950 suck.

1954 Bowman cards have gotten better with age.

TPAs have brought more money into the hobby.

More money in the hobby has ushered in more bad actors.

How many 1971 Thurman Munson's are enough? Just one more.
