    I would like to say thank you to you 4 gentlemen on the content you put out. I really enjoy every episode. Even tho I’m not a big collector anymore it’s great to see “real” love of the game people talk the hobby… and not try to promote an agenda.

    Love the content. There are a couple Korean forums/apps I am on for modern and 90s basketball. There are some sneaky good baseball cards I’ve been able to purchase from these forums. The shipping/taxes are tricky though. I’ve also heard of a couple Japanese forums/apps… but unfortunately I can’t read/write Japanese :D I’ve heard there’s a good variety of baseball (MLB vintage) cards in these Japanese forums

    Is there a place you can go to list the cards on my want list? So many Braves SP's and variations that I never see come up for sale even with using the ebay search every day. These cards have to be somewhere.

      Chris here - as a fellow sp/ssp Hunter I can tell you that there is no card tougher to track down than an image variation of a lesser name player. I don’t know where they are, but I’m guessing most got ignored or tossed aside.

    I’ve gone so far as to respell names in the Search just to see what’s on eBay (for example, Eliot, Eliott & Elliot for Ezekiel) and since 99.9% of the time the item’s not for me, I’ll send a quick message, letting the seller know ‘hi, the name is Elliott not _____, hope this helps you get more eyes on the card’ and if that helps a seller sell, I see that as a nice thing to do :)

    This is a question for Phil.
    I have a Commodore 64… circa 1992, but it’s “pack fresh,” as the kids like to say. What’s the best way to get it hooked up to the Facebook or the Instagram that you guys speak of? Do I need to get it connected to the “internet”??? Not sure if this is helpful, but I have a cassette of Frogger that takes about 6 1/2 minutes to load the game of the same name. Once that’s loaded, am I “online”? Do I need to reach a certain level before I’m online. (I can get about 10 boards in before I get into trouble…. The levels with the snakes really do me in.)
    Any help you can provide on the computing front would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
