I need to figure out an intelligent #Nostr integration with what I've historically done with blogging on postwarcards.com. There seem to be options like Highlighter and Habla News. What are the current trends in Nostr "blogging"? #AskNostr #Blogging @⚡️ᗪㄖ匚⚡️ @Derek Ross

I'm already making progress on this weekend's goals; I wrote one new piece for the blog and scanned a bunch of pages from the January 1980 issue of The Trader Speaks into my digital archives. One of my favorite things from back issues of TTS is seeing all the game's greats who were regular signers at card shows. Brooklyn's second Baseball Card And Sports Memorabilia Show had Cal Abrams, Gener Hermanski, and Billy Loes! #SportsCards #Dodgers #History

Free Software! (Sort of...) I love how many collection manager tools there were in the early '90s! Hobby and technology nostalgia! #Software #SportsCards #Nostalgia image

GM, Good People! I ran across this hilarious want ad in the April 1977 issue of The Trader Speaks from a collector looking for a 1947 Tip-Top Bread MIke Tresh card. #BaseballCards #Advertising #GoodMorning image

When people in the #bitcoin space say “no keys” all I hear is gnocchis.

I'm so glad I committed (this AM, here on #Nostr) to scanning an old issue of The Trader Speaks because the back issue I chose, Feb. 1983, had a short write-up about my favorite basketball set, the 1971 Topps Stickers!

Shakira said “you know my hips don’t lie.” Same here, mine are feeling a little sore, likely from too much running, so I’ll step back and take tomorrow off. Listen to your body!

GM Nostr! Yesterday, I shared a 1950 Topps Bring ‘Em Back Alive One-Cent display box, so today, I figured I’d share the box for the set’s sequel, 1951 Topps Animals of the World! This set is designated R714-1 by the American Card Catalog, and the cards featured artwork by Mary Lee Baker. They came as singles (1 card per pack for a penny) and perforated 2-card panels (6 cards/5-cent pack), and the panels command a premium. Also, the cards issued as singles have white cardboard stock on the back, while the panels have gray cardboard on the back. #NonSportsCards #Zoo #Collect #TheHobby image

This evening's reading: The July 1993 issue of Sports Cards Magazine! I'm curious about which steroid-pumping ballplayers they thought were Hall of Fame locks at the time! #Baseball #RogerClemens #SportsCards #ReggieJackson #BaseballCards image

Thinking about the best ways to pivot how I contribute to the sports card hobby given what #Nostr and #Bitcoin are and can be 🤔
