New Pickup for 2016

Picked up a Cello Pack with the Black Box showing on top.  (Rounded left edge and Jagged white line).  Cool, cheap fun.

Added 'Adult' card of Dick Felt

Big thanks to Eric G. for pointing out the 1963 Fleer card of 'Dick Felt'.  A must have for the 'Adult' section. 

Added 3 new pieces to the 'Articles' section & updated some pictures

Big thanks to Kyle P. in Washington state.  He sent a few newspaper clippings that I have now added to the 'Articles' section.  1989 AP#2, 1989 SCD #2 and one from a 1989 Oregonian newspaper.

Also updated some 'Versions' pictures.  Saw-Cut pictures.

April Fools?

Ben N. made a nice pickup post online today. 
"Bought this bat collection off Craigslist. Seller told me he got them at an estate sale in Baltimore."
LOL - well done!

Link added from 'Hidden City Philadelphia' about the Fleer Company

Nice piece written about the history of the Fleer company.

Learning Animated GIF files

Played around with some online animated .GIF file creator sites.  I made some neat combination/overlay images of different FF versions.  Here is one of my favorites.  Black Scribble (basic 3 card versions).  Files tend to be somewhat large, however.  3-6 MB.  Let it completely load and watch the transformation from 'Scribble w/ F' to the 'Loop' version to the 'No F'.

Random FF thoughts?

I had to share this.  I was in a hotel this week and had one of my random FF sightings.  Of course, whenever I see the F word, I think of this card.  Other examples are seeing 6:16 on the alarm clock.  This one doesn't happen too often but when I see FACE in all caps - it happens.  :)
