7-years a'blogging

That's right, it's the 7th anniversary of my first blog post, on February 3, 2008.  You can see it here. If you don't feel like going there, this is the sole card I posted that day.

My favorite baseball card, Mike Schmidt's rookie card. Acquired in 2005, for about $40, I claimed then that it was the most I'd ever spent for a baseball card. That actually wasn't true. It was the second most I'd ever paid for a card.  I'd forgotten about this card, bought in 1999, which holds the record at $46.

It's a 1999 SP Signature Autograph and remains the only Schmidt auto card I have.

This is my 1,395th post, meaning I've made about 200 posts a year.  I'm on a pace this year to make 288 posts. That would be my most prolific year ever. Thanks to everyone who reads the blog. This would be worth doing if I was just talking to myself.
