The blogsphere is a tight knit group and it is funny
when you see a specific card and you think of a specific collector. When I see
Tony Gwynn I think of Fuji and Defgav, Jose Canseco I think of Mouschi and
certain sketch cards it is Raz.
I will admit, it has swayed the
way I bid on occasion,
especially in cases of a more rare card because I don’t want to add
competition. The newest name to my list is P-Town Tom and Dan Vogelbach.
Vogelbach is a young player in the Mariners organization
who has a huge upside and finished this past season in Seattle and will most
likely earn a position in the big league with the Mariners next season, so he
is the perfect player to jump in on collecting. The problem is that I only know
about Vogelbach from reading P-Town Tom’s blog “Waiting ‘til Next Year” when
Vogelbach was in the Cubs organization and even though he is now with the
Mariners Tom still PCs him.
I would also add Night Owl and Ron Cey to this list - what a community we have!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend on Facebook who tags me whenever he sees an Elton Brand card for sale. I've added several to my collection from it too!
ReplyDeleteWow... I'm a kind of taken aback here. Thanks for shout out! It makes me smile that I'm becoming synonymous with The Vogelmonster.
