Stevie Nicks

Last night I was invited by a friend to go the Stevie Nicks concert at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey PA.  The show looked to be sold out as all sections and field seats and standing room where all full.  the gates opened at 5:30PM we didn't think there was an opening act as none was listed or found online but there was one Abby Anderson had never heard of her she was on stage alone and played Guitar and Keyboards and played for 45 minutes.  We had some rain but pretty much had stopped and didn't rain hardly at all for the show.  Stevie came on stage at about 8:20 and played and told stories for a little over 2 hours.  See below link to the set-list and a few pictures we were in section 4 so about half way back in the stadium.  I also took 4 videos and have those links below as well.  all in all a great night and show although getting out of the parking lot was a nightmare took over an hour and would have been longer if we didn't get out a different way once we got un-gridlocked.

Lancaster in York

I was invited to the Friday night game to attend in a suite with food so was a great time.  With York winning the first 2 games in Lancaster this could have been the series clincher but Lancaster won it going away 14-3 so there will be a game 4.  I did autographs before the game I only had 4 Lancaster players was able to get 3 of them as the starting pitcher was Oscar De La Cruz so he didn't sing pregame and it was an eventful game for Oscar as well as he was in the middle of a bench clearing incident that saw 4 players ejected 2 from each team with Oscar being 1 of them he was gone for the after game chance.  The players I got and a couple pictures I took are below. 

  1. Niko Hulsizer - a Card.
  2. Mason Martin - a Card.
  3. Phillip Diehl - 3 Card.

Jimbo Covert

I won this Topps Composite # TCA-JCO Jimbo Covert autographed card # 026/299 making Jimbo my 289th football HOFer auto in my collection.  Topps this year are unlicensed so logos are airbrushed but for the price and since I needed one from him figured why not also with the picture used can't tell that much was airbrushed.

Gus Edwards

I went to the Capital City card show last night and a dealer that I purchase from almost every show gifted me this card he said this guy isn't with them anymore do you want it.  I was like sure any PC Ravens card is appreciated and this nice 2022 Panini Select /99 Autograph of Gus Edwards is a sweet add to the collection.
