'Twas the night before Christmas...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the forum
Not a creature was stirring, not even Vargha; image
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes they'd be filled with PSA 10s, so rare;




The collectors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While delusions of grandeur danced in their heads;
Searching through oddballs, King Kellogg with his crown,
Was out like a light after the last beer he'd downed, image
image





When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tripping over kracked Kelloggs that were meant for the trash.
image





The moon on the slab of a PSA 6,
Reminds me that submitting cards is not a quick fix,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
It's Carl Yastrzemski in '63 Fleer,
image





'70 Topps Supers, so large and so thick,
I paused for a moment and then thanked St. Nick.
His bag overflowed with Mint Hall of Fame,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
image





"Now, AARON! now, MANTLE! now, RUTH and BERRA!
On, SCHMIDT! on KOUFAX! on, MAYS and CEPEDA!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
The slabs they stacked up and I owned them all!"
image





He spoke not a word, but kept plugging away,
Filling the gaps, so I won't need ebay,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, He dropped a Pete Rose;
image





Then He sprang to his feet and ran to his sleigh,
And away he flew after leaving Clemente.
image






But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"
image





Happy Holidays to all!

JEB.
