    1. Thank you very much! I plan on adding a little more soon, plan on purchasing the Greatest Teams of the Past III (Cards). Just added 1993 APBA BBW for my Alternate 1993 Project; A project where the Expansion teams: Florida, Colorado, Arizona & Tampa Bay don't exist, no inter-league play, with the four original divisions in place, with Houston & Milwaukee in the original leagues.

  2. Shawn, looking back at the Michigan tournmanet, I think you should have run your 17 Sox more.

    1. I agree - I probably should have, plus I kept altering my lineup more than I would have liked. I'm really looking forward to playing the 1993 Braves in March.

  3. The collection is growing little by little as the dollars allow. Keep at it.

  4. Are you interested in selling any teams in your collection? Or at least letting me borrow a team for a tournament?

  5. Do you have the 2014 print of the 1979 Yankees?
