Dinner and beer at a local brewery tonight. People are out. Almost feels normal. Almost.

Is that good or bad?

I'm fine with it. I said earlier in the thread I doubt I'd be back in the office in 2020.

Our CEO just announced we'll continue working under our current at-home arrangement until at least August 31st.

eBay for both. The Rose was $36 + free shipping. It was $38.52 after tax. The Morgan was $8.30 (Best offer) plus $3.50 shipping for a $12.63 total after tax.

I also picked up my first graded cards. Spent $12ish on the Morgan because of the ST (staining) modifier. Small wax stain on the back, it didn’t bother me. The Rose was about $38, which is more than I wanted to spend but I kept missing out on auctions by a dollar or less and got sick of it.

I like those. That’s what I’ll be buying but likely not graded. Had someone buy about 1/3 of my Deion cards for $40 and I sold 4 Father’s Day Collector gifts where they spend $50 and get about $125-$150 worth of cards that includes: 1 HOFer rookie card, 50 different HOFers, about 20 other big popular stars, typically about 50 cards of Reds players and I fill 660 count box with 400 of my collection of all sorts of cards (mostly commons) and I give them a bunch of old fleer stickers to decorate the box. Not many have bought but they are happy as hell with them. Fun to put together too. Guy coming over Monday with $100 and gonna but some Griffey’s and Bo

I've been on a buying spree lately. I've picked up 30+ new Larkin's on eBay in the last couple weeks. Also just emailed a guy with an order for 104 new Larkin cards, though some were replacements for damaged cards I already own.

I've finally started cataloging everything in google sheets. I don't have everything logged so far, just through 1996, but have tallied 269 unique Larkin's in the collection. With the cards I haven't logged yet, and the cards on order, I think I'll be close to 1000 total Larkin's. I could be off by a hundred or more, but that's my guess right now.

Called my barber this morning and got his next available appointment which is next Friday morning. This is the longest my hair has ever been so this is going to be a very satisfying haircut.

Also made reservations for dinner on a patio up the street from us. We walked by last night on the way to get ice cream and it was full (not crowded like the picture above, it's a small bistro-style restaurant) and found out their reservation policy when we got home. We had to call at 2pm today and were put on a list. They will call the next party as a table opens up and you have 15 minutes to get there to be seated. This is going to be a sizable bill.
