No Card on the Table (5/4-5/10/2026)

We moved this week. 

From three years living in Motels in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, we've moved into a home and are renting a room.

And this point, there's no room for a table, but, hopefully, that'll change in the coming weeks. 


Here's two card, no table. 

These 1969 Milton Bradley game cards were gifted to my by someone on TweetX. 




Thanks, and, as always, thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by and reading my blog.

Tigers Card Tuesday/Card on the Table (3/17-22/2026)

 It's a cool combo today on ye olde blog, a two fer' Tuesday, if you will. 


I've combined Tigers Card Tuesday & Card on the Table for one post, because, well, I was battling fibromyalgia for a few days and didn't have the energy. 


🐅⚾️Any time I can feature a card of the greatest hitter in Tigers history, it's definitely a good thing. 

🍑 The Georgia Peach won 12 American League batting championships, hit .366 for his entire career, and, was, fittingly, the first player elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

                  Tyrus Raymond Cobb.


If you're a baseball card fan, and youre on TwitterX, you should, hopefully, been following Cigar Box Cards for great hobby content. 


Also, the Olde English D wood block is from Cash Lumber , a Christmas gift...or, his website, here


Have a great week, and, as always, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to stop by and read my blog.
