McNair Dead.......

Wow. It is hard to believe that Steve McNair is dead. Shot dead- 4 Bullets. Somebody wasn't messin around.

As great of an NFL player as he was- he is always going to be remembered for how he died. I guess that can be a lesson for us all. Who wants to be remembered as a 37 year old married man and father- gunned down with or by his 20 year old girlfriend. Not me.....We are all human - and make mistakes- but we must strive to be the best people we can be. Tonight I'll say a prayer for Steve McNair and his family and hope the indignity of his death is a wake up call for all who sway from the path.

In an effort to honor our great nation- and beat some of the holiday traffic- we will be closing Friday July 3rd at 4 pm. We will be open on Monday July 6th at our customary 8 am. (Who works harder than us........?) We sure hope you enjoy your holiday weekend- and enjoy the blog.

 From our corporate offices just down the street from the Northwest Ohio Windfarm- comes this week's Top Ten List:

     Top Ten Ways to Know The Government doesn't want you to collect cards anymore....

   10. New "Cap in Cards" legislation gets passed....

     9. New Al Gore proposal mandates building new windmills out of old baseball cards....

     8. Somebody who resembles Al Gore comes to your house and takes your cards for windmill project....

     7. Hundreds of collectors are injured as they refuse to let go of their cards and fall from windmills....

     6. Government bails out Topps- and immediately makes special "U.S. Senators Set" which is very popular with no one...(The Supreme Court autographed inserts are well received however......)

     5. In what is widely suspected as a bailout for the dentistry industry- special Government action puts "extra hard gum" back in wax packs....

      4. New government regulations specify Cuban cards as enemy combatants and in a related statement- "Rubber banding cards" now considered unreasonable form of torture......

      3. SCD is replaced with government owned "Windmills Today".....(Coaches Corner has 26 page auction in issue #1)

      2. New government proposal makes it a goal to "Move card collectors into the mainstream" by showing them the benefits of collecting normal stuff like unemployment and food stamps......

      1. "In God We Trust" replaced with "Don't Collect Cards" on newly printed U.S. currency.........

Meredith Answers the phones.........

Tonight we got through Auction #1571- and our new hire Meredith helped answer the phones. She really liked it - though said "it isn't as much fun as texting boys"......  I don't text. I don't know if that is because I'm old, inflexible, or just "old and inflexible"..... I think texting is kind of rude. I especially hate it when I am trying to talk with someone and they are texting at the same time. I feel like I am giving 100% of my undivided attention to the conversation- BUT I am just a small part of the texting person's "multitasking"...... I could do without that.... So don't text me......I'm not texting back......

Thanks to all who bid in the auctions this week- they were quite busy. As always we appreciate all of your bids and business!

Welcome to Summer

Well it's finally summer here in Ohio- as the temps surge into the 80's - and the pools and beaches are crowded with "people who haven't lost that winter weight quite yet"...... Here at Kevin Savage Cards we keep working through several big collections we purchased in May- and we will continue to offer our customary two auctions per week.  Helping us out this summer are two part time employees. The first is  Nick, a 21 year old college student who enjoys long walks in the park, french cooking, and hopes to meet a girl who collects football cards and loves him for who he is.  The other summer hire is Meredith, a high school senior who has regular dreams involving baseball cards and actually has constructed a chair out of 1980's Donruss commons. (It is sturdy- yet uncomfortable)She does a lot of scanning on the computer ( I kid her that she is from Scananavia), and she will attempt to organize our warehouse this summer.  Good luck with that one.....

I hope your summer is off to a great start. If there is anything I can do to help with your collecting experience- please feel free to email or call me toll free 1-866-861-2330. Thanks for reading the blog- and being one of our customers!
