Allow me to dork out for a minute. So as I said, I've recently started getting back into baseball card collecting and I've decided to collect Gaylord Perry. First of all, that's a hilarious name. (Janes-related side note: do you think when Perry Farrell [Bernstein] was in school, older kids would bully him by calling him "Gaylord Perry"?
or maybe "Bernstein Bear"?) Plus Gaylord's in the group I passively collect of "former Padres who are in the Hall of Fame". His first card is in 1962, and he played for many years, so that's a lot of classic years of cards to sample. And the fact that he played for so many teams over his career, never sticking around in one place too long (and the fact he was sometimes a cheat and jerk), helps there not be a lot of "diehard Gaylord Perry fans" out there, so his cards are relatively easy to come by for a typical HOFer from that era.So yeah, trade me your Gaylord Perry baseball cards if you have any, please. Actually I'd probably be into ANY old (pre-Janes) cards and could trade you some Jane's live CDs/DVDs or something.
