Didn’t buy much this year but I was happy to land this

Blue Thunder was a spinoff of the movie. One of the other shows you’re thinking of was Air Wolf

I’ve never been to a sparkly gym

1975 was my first time collecting and I lived in the Bay Area so all I saw were minis. Didn’t understand why they were smaller than older cards and was very confused when I got a pack in LA and they were bigger. And then the 1976s were back to normal. I didn’t understand it for years.

Just changed jobs so I have no leave - won’t be doing any Free @ Noons for awhile. Plus getting to the Ardmore midday is harder for us than World Cafe

Most of the shows I saw at the Balloon were mid to late 80’s. Joe Jackson would have been amazing there

Where’d you see Zevon in Delaware? I saw him at the Stone Balloon in Newark in October of 1985. Be wild if we were at the same show!

There are Japanese cards from that year but they're pretty rare and out of my price range

First anniversary of the concert where all the Band members are gone

Not sure about the high schools but I think there's still some college ball going on. Although I think it's post-season tournaments

It boggles my mind that a month after being drafted, Nakanishi is still pitching for his college team. I was at a Spearfish Sasquatch game a few years ago and a guy on the team had been taken in the draft the day before - he was at the ballpark to say goodbye to the fans but not play

Spent 1977-79 in Japan with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, helping them win their first championship in his last year
