“My hypocrisy only goes so far”

By the time this posts I'll be on my way to the Tristar Sports Collectors show in Houston. I plan on feasting on massive amounts of penny boxes and cheap, worthless hits. I will gorge myself on cardboard, foil and sticker autos. I will, to borrow a phrase, "make it...
