The 94 Bowman has always been one of my favorite Julio cards, it’s the one I have signed.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
The 93 Upper Deck set is an all-time favorite. 🤩
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Might have a Factory set border variation of that 91 Donruss for you. And the 90. I’ve got a lil’ Julio PC, wish he’d make a comeback.

Yeah shit takes longer to do. But you retain more. Not only does the quality of your work improve, but also the quality of your methodology improves - you learn what *not* to do as well. This is a paper on writing, but it’s easy to see how this covers numerous skills, be it work or hobbies.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social)
Read the book, not the summary. Write your notes. Sketch your concepts. All of these things are not just actively using your brain, but training it to improve. Stop doing those things and it atrophies. Whomst among us could have seen this?

Not really patterns, but the various sections are common enough that the handful of people with good YouTube tutorials will probably cover what you need.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
There are a few good resources on YouTube for the various sections of the glove lacing. That and good notes/pictures goes a long way.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
If you decide to start down that path, I’m happy to chat. I wouldn’t have had the guts to try if someone hadn’t done the same for me. Basically 1. Remove all old lace (take lots of pics/notes!) 2. Sponge bath (warm water & Murphy’s) 3. Air dry 4. Condition + buff 5. New lace 6. Condition again

See a seagull, I like da beach
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s a bit beyond my scope, though I’m happy to chat process with anyone who wants to give it a go and point them in the right direction. There’s a good little book called Glove Stories that covers a lot of the history fairly well.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Not sure if you saw the second one here.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Dooooooo iiiiiiiiiit
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
The back of that one is fun as well. They also altered the shape of the MacGregor wrist patch to a crown.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, Pecard is my conditioner of choice. Smells great, you can slather it on and just buff off the excess, and it adds a nice little bit of tack to the palm. I’ve got a 1959 A2000 that I need to get back to, found it for a song & while it’s seen a lot, it’s still got some life left in it.

Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you very much!
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
The one I found was already in such beautiful shape that I have barely used it. I gave it a quick condition and fresh lace, but not much else. It’s a wonderful glove, but I got to meet J.R. and so this one is essentially a shelf piece. I may try to find another to fix up for game use.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you very much, learning about what to look for became just as exciting as finding them. Here are a few more.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
I started playing baseball again a few years ago and that led to redoing my own old glove, which led to hunting for cheap sweet old gloves to rehab, and now I’ve redone 19 I think? A few for friends. I had to stop looking for a bit, I need to move some before I can entertain any new ones.

What’s wild is the number of people I’ve heard from in my age cohort (35-45) who have already had shingles pop up. Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but it seems like COVID-19 activated it early for several of them.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social) reply parent
Maaaan, if you’re eligible I would not skip it. This shit sucks.
Bru (@brubaker.bsky.social)
Shingles outbreak day 4? 5? Whatever this is, it’s the worst by far. I guess it’s day 4. More blistering popped up yesterday and it’s just a lot of constant medium pain with tingling flares.
