Childhood Baseball Cards for Sale



Hey, guys! I'm selling my childhood baseball cards from c.1970 and some notable cards from the 80s and 90s. All cards are non-rated, some are in excellent/near mint condition, and others are a little rough around the edges (literally). 
 
Also selling some some non-baseball cards -- mostly hockey and a couple of basketball cards -- from those eras, too. 
 
Check out my eBay site to see the listings which feature a pic and detailed description of each card so you know what you're getting. All sales are through eBay only. Thanks!

VO Actor's Life

Doing a little book trailer VO for a friend. Fun!


Pro Tip: Why bother with a fancy audio booth when a carpeted closet with custom hanging clothes sound dampening will do?

My Own Personal NaNoWriMo 2025

As many of you already know, there isn't going to be an "official" National Novel Writing Month in November 2025 or in the foreseeable future or, most likely, ever. The main organization had some problems, and, as a result, they shut everything down.

Anyway... 

I have to admit I'm kind of bummed about this. Each of my (5) completed NaNo books was independently published and one of them, Ghost Star, was a winner of the Kindle Scout competition and later published by Kindle Press, an Amazon imprint. So, it's safe to say I was invested in what used to be a fun and productive writing challenge -- 50k words in the month of November made you a winner.

What am I going to do about the aforementioned bummage?  Why, I'm returning to the spirit of the early days of the challenge to do my own personal dialed-back version of NaNoWriMo. I've got a few big things going on in Nov/Dec (one of my kids is getting married, etc), so that's where the dialing back part comes in -- 30,000 words instead of 50,000. That means 1k a day for the duration which I think is doable. 

For this year's challenge, I'll be finishing the third book in the Ghost Star Adventures Series, cleverly titled Ghost Star 3. That, of course, is a working title. We'll see what I come up with. Got any suggestions? The actual title usually appears in my mind sometime around the final edit. 

Since I don't have an "official" word count widget, the plan is to stop by and post my progress once or twice a week. Maybe more. I'm doing this because, you know, accountability = fear of shame-based motivation. 

Saturday, November 1st is almost here. Wish me luck, and feel free to stop by and shame me about my lackluster word count!

I'm Back!

Thanks to a miraculous healing-style breakthrough in puzzling out a tech/security problem that's plagued me for years (I got so fed up, I just deleted the whole shebang and moped/mulled over it for a few months before the fix hit me), I just restarted my blog and am working on filling it out with content, a simple bookstore page, etc. 

It's going to be a lot more minimalist or "streamlined," as the kids like to say. Fun and easy-to-keep-up are my goals for this edition of rogereschbacher.com .

I'll let you know when I go wide with something more substantial. Thanks!
