Just learned (relearned?) that there is a 1990 set of Professional Bowlers Association cards from “Kingpins.” Bunch of unopened packs my brother found and gave me (he doesn’t collect).
The set includes a card for Guppy Troup. The movie “Kingpin” didn’t come out until 1996. Amazing!
Many thanks to @jaywigley.bsky.social for these 1984 Topps—getting closer to finishing the set.
Also thanks as always to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social for hosting the Sunday Car Swap. If you collect, definitely check it out—great group of collectors!
Oh gods. My English class actually read that in 8th grade. It was the entire Spring semester!
Fall semester included The Maltese Falcon, which was a lot more fun! Mr. Arnold did a great Peter Lorre impression. Also amazing for teaching things like foreshadowing, characterization, and motifs.
I picked up the first in the series a couple weeks ago on a whim ($2 at the local library sale room). Glad to hear this recommendation and will move it higher in the to-be-read pile.
