Baseball cards are not immune to “Florida man” stories.
G. Ronald McCauley, f58, of Ft. Myers, is in jail after law enforcement officers say he and some accomplices strapped another man to a chair, hit him with a baseball bat and axe handle and stabbed him after accusing him of stealing “valuable” baseball cards.
McCauley if facing kidnapping, aggravated assault and aggravated battery, according to the Lee County, FL Sheriff’s Office.
The News-Press of Ft. Myers says the incident happened last week.
MeiGray has opened the latest in its ongoing Connor McDavid memorabilia auctions.
Among the items up for bid are a stick the Edmonton Oilers superstar used during the All-Star Game and Skills Competition in 2018; the pair of skates he was wearing when he scored his 40th goal and 100th point of the 2017-18 season; a pair of game-used gloves from last season, a second game-used stick and a practice-worn jersey.
The auction runs through December 19 on MeiGray’s website.
PSA is making a slight change to the pricing for its bulk submission option beginning January 1.
The cost for submitting 50 cards will remain $10 per card but 100-card submissions will go up from $8 to $9 per card. A new 200 card bulk submission option will be available at $8.50 per card.
If you’ve ever spent time around Wrigley Field in the last 40+ years, you probably have seen Yesterday, a very old school memorabilia and collectibles shop run by Tom Boyle.
Located just a stone’s throw from the outfield fence on Addison Avenue, Yesterday had baseball cards, old yearbooks, programs, magazines, records, political items and more, all jammed into a small shop frequented by fans, the curious and collectors.
Boyle died Monday at age 88.
A friend told WBBM Radio he hopes to keep the shop open for awhile.
You can read more about the store–and watch a video here.
