Sometimes, it just takes time

As the Cubs wait for their future to come to fruition, the Phillies have had one of their future core players bust out this year.

Domonic Brown is hitting .281 with 23 HR's and 62 RBI's in the season's first half to catapult himself into the All Star game.

And to think the Phils were thinking of moving him to the Cubs for Alfonso Soriano.

It's nice to see a player whose compass was going South in his first few seasons find North.

Congrats to Domonic.

Now I just have to wait two to four years for one of the Cubs uber prospects to copy what Domonic is doing.

Listia Loot: 1955 Topps Karl Olson

When it comes to baseball cards it doesn't matter who the player is or what team he plays for when the card looks like this:

1955 Topps #72

I don't think there is a better looking card in my collection than this one!

1955 Topps is gorgeous.

Pretty good shape overall, too.

I wonder what the game would be like if the ball was filled with rubber, referring to the cartoon.

It cost me 1,151 credits on Listia but it was never an issue whether I was going to win it or not.

Some things are just too good to pass up.

Jason Heyward 2013 Topps Patch Card

I like the rookie patch cards that 2013 Topps offers but the design is rather ugly:

Meanwhile, the regular patch cards look like this:

Which one would you rather get in a pack?

The regular patch cards really pop when you hold on in your hand.

A complete set of the framed on a wall would be about as good as it gets.

Hey Lenny, you okay?

Yeah Krukkie, it was that Phillie steak and cheese that does this to me.

I'll be okay in a sec.................

I'm good!
