    Oh gee... ducks... love them, but when we swam at the La Mirada outdoor lap pool last summer, there was a duck family in th pool with us. The water smelled like fish and I had severe eye infection the next few days from the bacteria in the water. Literally, pus was coming out of my tear ducts. Had to use prescription eye drops. No way I'll swim in a pool with ducks again, ever!!!

    I am not a collecter, however, I have cards from 1908 to 1957. The early ones were given to me. My pride and joy are my Topps 1956 cards. Many of them I have had since 1956. A whole bunch I won’t flipping and playing matches. I few I bought. None of them are mint. None are disintegrating either. People were telling me that they are still worth a modest five figures. As I am now in my 70’s I thought I would sell them. I went to several “dealers” who over the phone and with pictures I texted to them, told me that they were eager to view them and pay a fair price. Bullshit. When I brought them to two shops,they insulted me with their offers. One told me that the 56 Topps cards are overrated. He offered 500.00 for 302 cards. I looked him in the eye and told him to due something anatomically impossible, and left. The second dealer complained that business was slow. He offered a thousand dollars. I put the cards back and just walked out. As I was leaving he called out,” I can do 1500.00.” I did not respond. Now I’m a realist. Many of my cards are in good condition, many are fair, none are in poor condition. They would have made a fine profit from the cards. So what I am going to do is leave them to an honest charitable organization. I would rather get nothing for them than be taken for a chump. Sports collectable businesses are for the most part unethical.

    This is poor video making. What's sad is that this is a very historical site and filmed as if it was a day at the post office! Too fast and not a lot of the other things there being filmed in their entirety. That woman narrating the tour sounds almost as if she's afraid to talk. I wish someone else would've filmed this instead. A lot of it is missing better information - too incomplete.
