It is a beautiful day here today on LBI, the sun is shining and the crowds are down. Very strange for the end of May.
Well, I hit my "so-called" hot spot last night, and as per usual I got skunked. I started out about 11pm between the tides and although it did smell a little fishy, I sure did not see or hear anything. Caught the usual garbage of sharks and skates, but the bass were a no-show. I packed it in about 9am when the curiosity seekers were hitting the beach. Was definitely not in the chatty mood to deal with them.
I did talk to quite a few others who also had the same results so at least I was not alone. Granted there were some fish taken on the North End (Banegat Light) but the south end guys had nothing to show for their efforts.
The beaches close tonight for the buggys for the summer, so I will be moving my stuff to my lite tackle bag, and start doing the walk on trips. Early am and late night. Daytime is out of the question due to the hordes that will be on the beaches. Ah yes got to love the "shoobies"!
I forgot to mention yesterday that I have 4 boxes of 2008 Razor Letterman Baseball boxes coming in tomorrow. I got a great price on them, and I will be busting two of them, and the other two are going on the site. So if you want them now, let me know, cause I do not think they will last at the price I am going to sell them for.
Until tomorrow, enjoy whats left of your weekend!

More specials added
The weekend is upon us, and with this beautiful weather here in jersey I have not had time to update my blog as often as I had hoped. I have been shuffling from home to the shore just about everyday and starting to get into my summer routine.
It takes its toll as I am beat after working 8+ hours and driving an hour to the shore, hitting the beach for some fishing and by the time I get back to the house it is time to get up and go back to work! Sure wish I was 21 again LOL!!
I know this is off topic but the spring striper fishing finally is starting to turn on. The bunker pods are just starting to amass off the surf, and when they get within casting range the bass are right under them.
There have been some big bass to 50lbs weighed in at the local shops and there have been plenty of 20's and 30's in the mix as well. I have 6 so far this spring with the largest being 27lbs. (all released).
So if there are any surf anglers reading my blog, get on down to the beach and cash in on the bassing while it lasts. They are going for the usual clams, bunker chunks, and when the bunker are off the beach, get out the poppers cause they are exploding on them! Better yet, put on that weighted treble and snag one of those bunker and liveline it just off the school and I guarantee you will have an instant hookup.
Back to the collecting front, I did not do well at all on the auctions that ended on Thursday, as usual the bidding wars were out of control! I did pick up a few nice pieces that I will be adding next week when they arrive.
Here is a list of the items I picked up...
Mean Joe Greene Autographed Mini-Helmet
Vijay Singh signed Masters Flag
Bruno Sammartino Autographed Title Belt
I also picked up a nice 150 piece Phillies lot that includes cards, jerseys, balls, bats, tickets, patches, posters, and photos. There are some really nice pieces in there and I can't wait to get them.
OK folks thats all for now, gonna take a nap, and I think I am going to pull an all-nighter on the beach and soak some clams and hope I can be in the right place at the right time. I have a good spot scouted and sure hope it produces!
Will have an update for you tomorrow.

It's Spring Time!!
Welcome to May! So Spring has finally arrived here in the Garden State. Thank goodness this friggin cold weather is gone. I am so sick and tired of being cold. These ole bones just can't take the winters here for much longer. Florida looks better and better everyday, LOL!
And of course with May arriving, so does this stinkin rain. Is is just me, or does it always have to rain on the weekends? Seems like whenever the temps get into the 70's and 80's it is beautiful during the work week, but as soon as Saturday hits..... RAIN!!
Early retirement looks better and better every day too!! LOL....
Not much going on with the sports card biz. I did have my best month so far in April, and with this month being only 2 days old, I am off and running again. Looks like it could be another banner month for me. I sure can use it. Thanks to everyone that is buying from me, and please make sure you spread the word!! You take care of me, and in turn I will take care of you.
If you refer a friend to my site, and they make a purchase, I will compensate you with a freebie!!
Just have them mention how they found the site, and your freebie will be on the way to you. The more referrels you send me, the more bennies you get!
I have more stuff on the way.... I have thick toploaders coming, I have some Basketball Memorabilia coming, some neat PGA Golf stuff like badges, pins, pens, ball markers, etc.
I have a few more autographed Yankees balls on the way, nothing spectacular, but I got them at good price, so the savings will be passed on to you. Paul O'Neill, Graig Nettles, Clete Boyer and Bernie Williams.
I am watching another high end card lot that is ending today, and if the price does not skyrocket I should be able to get it at a decent price. We will see....
Later guys!
