This error baseball card is about as cool as any piece of modern art.

Lobby cards for DESERT NIGHTS, a proto-noir, nasty, sweaty silent crime picture. Not quite as harsh as it probably should have been (this was MGM and not Lon Chaney) but excellent atmosphere

October 1st.
I’m rereading Ray Bradbury’s October Country.
The paperback on the right is worn out from being read too many times, and even the newer one I bought on the left is already tattered.
Looking at the colophon, it says 16th printing, issued on June 14, 1974—already 50 years ago…

Have: 1. 1967 Topps commons; 2. also, big mix of early-ish junk wax. (If any prospects, I’ll need to open some boxes & dig so to take pics.)

Wants: any *weird* error card of old Orioles. I.e., color shift, card back printed on front, or extreme miscuts from early junk wax or prior. Poor is fine!

Funny how in this interview Fran remembers publishing it under a different name (not as Jim Conway) but "under the name of the headmaster who threw me out of prep school, Robert Paine Cook," which sounds even better.

Remember that time Fran Lebowitz wrote a porno? No? Well, she did in 1971 under a pseudonym and this is it. I saw a copy at the NY fair for $1250 a few years ago and cried. Got it this week for $35. Patience & knowing where to look are everything in book collecting. #DailyPaperback
House of Leather by Jim Conway. Cover shows a photo of two white men. One has is naked back to us and is moaning in submissive pleasure. The other looks like one of Thulsa Doom’s henchmen and is wearing a leather vest and brandishing a cat o’ nine tales above the other man’s head.

i've only read the crusty old pyramid books paperback! i wonder how different the non-lensman version is? i will say that even though the '50s books are still you know, OLD, i definitely remember enjoying grey lensman the most and then thinking children of the lens jumped the shark.

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect
A black and white photo of a baseball game, you can see that it is mid pitch with a pirate at bat

Have: 1. several 1967 Topps commons; 2. also, big mix of early-ish junk wax.

Wants: willing to trade for almost any very weird color shift error cards or extreme miscuts from early junk wax or prior—big plus if it’s Orioles!

(If any prospects, I’ll need to open some boxes & dig so to take pics.)
