Easily the most popular and significant postwar baseball card, the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle has surpassed the now-overused term "iconic," moving into uncharted territory during the recent hobby boom. Atop the want list of thousands of collectors, experienced and novice alike, it is often stated that the 1952 Mantle and T206 Honus Wagner are the best-recognized cards in the hobby, transcending collecting itself to the point where non-hobbyists can identify each card on sight. Certainly owning any '52 Mantle is a badge of collecting honor, as it has long been considered a "blue chip" card and is universally recognized as the most important postwar card in the hobby.
While the demand for 1952 Topps Mantle cards has always been strong, the supply has not been an issue, as the card is fairly readily available. Where the card becomes truly rare, however, is with the introduction of a vintage autograph, particularly one in ultra-high grade. As suggested by population reports, signed 1952 Mantles are scarce to begin with: while PSA has graded nearly 1,900 unsigned examples of the card, the PSA/DNA population report registers just 18 signed examples. Of this modest population of just 18 signed examples, however, most are more recent, later-in-life signatures, applied by Mantle in Sharpie. Examples with vintage ballpoint signatures are virtually nonexistent, and we are aware of only two ballpoint examples that have achieved the lofty grade of GEM MINT 10. The offered card is the superior graded example, and by far the superior (in our opinion more than the higher card grade suggests) of these two ballpoint signatures. In summary and in short, we believe this is the finest signed 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle known to exist.
As is well-known, extremely high-grade examples of 1952 Topps Mantles will sell for extremely high prices: An SGC MINT+ 9.5 example sold in 2022 for $12.6 million. While one has not been available at public auction since 1995, a PSA 10 example (there are three graded at that level) would likely sell for more. Should the values of the very highest grade 1952 Mantles have any relevance to the values of the very highest-grade autographed 1952 Mantles? That's for collectors to decide, but we cannot help but think it is interesting at least to acknowledge the relative values, particularly since signed examples are so rare, let alone in high grade.
Autographed baseball cards were not always the desirable collectibles they are today. In earlier days, autographing a baseball card was considered taboo; collecting purists believed the signature destroyed the condition of the card, making it less desirable. Eventually, however, collectors began to realize that this unwritten rule had an unintended effect: signed vintage cards were hard to find. Especially the more valuable cards of key Hall of Famers - who on earth would write on an expensive 1952 Mantle?!
The result is this truly extraordinary card. Signed perfectly in blue ballpoint, carefully centered underneath Mantle's image but not obscuring the Yankees logo, the card is a marvel, a well-centered card with a midgrade appearance and a bold signature. The card carries outstanding provenance, having had just two owners - its original owner was a dedicated and lifelong collector who pulled the card from a pack in its year of issue, and (with great reluctance, as the signature would destroy it's value) had Mantle autograph it for him in the mid 1970s. The card remained in his possession until it was sold at auction a little over a decade ago for a then-astonishing price of $22,000. From there, the card remained tucked away in a collection of signed 1952 Topps until making its way to this auction.
The signature has been graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA/DNA - one of only a handful we have identified at that grade level, and one of just two with ballpoint signatures. The card itself is a well-centered VG 3, with vivid color and a clean surface, bright borders and a crisp, well-registered image. Light softening of the corners and some pronounced wear to the left edge keep the card from a higher holder but certainly do not distract from its visual appeal. The card appears VG/EX; it is only upon very close inspection that some edge wear becomes apparent, likely the reason for the technical grade. Regardless, the card is far superior to any signed 1952 Mantle we have ever seen, and we are in agreement with the original seller of the card that it is likely the finest signed 1952 Mantle in existence.
The 1952 Topps Mantle has proven over the years that no price is too high; no sooner does a sale break a record than another tops it. This example checks all the boxes: well-centered, clean image with a beautiful vintage ballpoint signature, centered perfectly on the canvas and graded GEM MINT 10 by the leader in autograph authentication and card grading, and with remarkable provenance. Likely the finest autographed 1952 Topps Mantle in existence, simply a spectacular card, one of the greatest items we have ever offered.

Oedipoda caerulescens
The blue-winged grasshopper, Oedipoda caerulescens, is a grasshopper in the genus Oedipoda.
Distribution
This species occurs in Europe, North Africa and Asia. It was recently rediscovered again in the Maltese islands.
Morphological description
Oedipoda caerulescens is a medium-sized grasshopper, between 15 and 21 mm for males and between 22 and 28 mm for females. The body coloration varies greatly depending on the substrate on which the animals have developed: reddish brown, gray, yellowish, or even completely dark or bright. The forewings are crossed most often by two or three pale bands, but the most striking characteristic, very visible when the insect flies away, is the bright coloration of the hind wings, a beautiful turquoise highlighted with a black marginal stripe. Furthermore, the posterior femora have a notch on their upper surface. At rest, confusion is possible with other Oedipoda species such as O. germanica.
Ecology
Oedipoda caerulescens frequents dry areas with low and open vegetation: dunes, heathlands, grasslands on sand and sunlit limestone rocks. Many stations correspond to land recently used for human activities, such as coal spoil heaps, quarries and pits, the ballast of railway tracks, etc. It is exclusively a terrestrial insect, and its cryptic coloration often matches its substrate. It presses itself to the ground and remains motionless, and jumps only at the very close approach of danger. A remarkable behavior is the "hook" landing which serves to confuse potential attackers. Thus, the grasshopper lands and swings round to face the direction it has come from. The sudden disappearance of the blue hind wings of the adult makes it difficult for predators to shift quickly enough to a different kind of search to relocate the prey.[1] The female lays her eggs in bare, dry soil. In this species, acoustic emissions are virtually nonexistent. The diet consists mainly of grasses.

Atlanta Braves baseball from 20 September 2019 (the night they clinched the division crown). The new park (opened in 2018) gets panned a little because it's usually pretty hot in Georgia and a heck of a lot of seats are in direct sun.
It's a relatively generic stadium (in the new mold of generic stadiums), but it's nice. The area outside the stadium (bars/restaurants) is actually a bit more interesting/unique than the stadium itself.
The biggest drawback is that the Atlanta Braves no longer play in Atlanta. (That and parking is almost nonexistent up there in Marietta near the stadium. We were scratching our heads looking for the actual parking lots.)
As for the game...it was a great game. First time in my life I actually got to see a division-clinching game. (They'd clinched a playoff spot a few days before.)
Sidney Woodruff (red), graduate student, talks collected a Red Ear Slider in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.
Providing this opportunity will allow undergraduate students to be involved in wildlife conservation research under the supervision of a graduate student mentor and PI while also supporting the objectives of this study and the restoration of the UC Davis Arboretum.

Because the idol is your face,
I have become an idolater.
Because the wine is from your cup,
I have become a drunkard.
In the existence of your love,
I have become nonexistent.
This nonexistence linked to you
is better than all existence.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

Page from the Souvenir Brochure for Festival 68, organised by Keighley Sports & Recreational Development Council. The Festival involved dozens of cultural and sporting organisations from across the town and ran in the autumn of 1968.
The Festival was described in the Keighley News of 14th September 1968: "In a massive expression of unity, Keighley's cultural, socia, sporting and recreational organisations are working together for the success of Festival 68, which is to provide interest and entertainment throughout the autumn season... Organised by Keighley Sports and Recreational Development Council, the purpose of Festival 68 is to co-ordinate effort for the provision of greater leisure facilities in and around the borough. 'Something for everyone' is a much mis-used phrase but can be applied, in all truth, to Festival 68 and it must be a poor soul indeed who scans the diary of events and finds nothing of interest. From folk to orchestral music, from swimming to cycling, from dancing to music of the 1930s to 1968 musical competitions, from Yorkshire dialect to human rights, for art and antiques to celebrity speakers, there is something on the programme for every taste, for young and old."
This page features an advert for an all-Chopin concert to be given by John Ogdon at Victoria Hall on Tuesday 8th October 1968. John Andrew Howard Ogdon (1937-1989) was a renowned pianist and composer. In later life and after his death he was the subject of various TV documentaries and a BBC Screen Two drama in which he was played by Alfred Molina. According to the Keighley News, his appearance as part of Festival 68 required a three-figure sum. The concert was reviewed in the Keighley News of 12th October 1968: "One curious feature of the John Ogdon recital on Tuesday night was the unusual quietness in the audience. Every concert - and especially a piano recital - has its share of distracting coughs and shuffles, but at this concert they were almost nonexistent. Whether this was due entirely to John Ogdon's playing I couldn't say, but he gave an enthralling performance... It isn't often that we in Keighley can hear at first hand a pianist of Ogdon's calibre, and Keighley Music Club should be commended for allowing us the pleasure."
The 68-page brochure was printed by Walter Parker (Kly.) Ltd. of West Lane and was available to purchase for one shilling from Berry's Newsagents on Cavendish Street. The original brochure was donated to Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in 2023.
Did you know that there are some islands found on maps that are actually non-existent? Those who claimed as discoverers of these islands testified that they have seen them and even landed them. Teams that were assigned to check these assumed lands ended up seeing the wide shores and nothing more, although other declared that they discovered the said islands.
Below are the ten islands on maps that don’t really exist.
10. Sandy Island
In 2012, this island was declared as nonexistent. But before that, Sandy Island appeared on Google Earth and was located between New Caledonia (Pacific) and Australia. The British ship Velocity originally recorded the island in 1876. Its first appearance on British map was in 1908.
Many of the expeditions were not able to locate the island and was later removed in some maps during the 1970s but remained on others. Sandy Island was not seen on French maps. Maybe the French have the idea that it does not actually exist or they were ignorant about its existence.
Scientists at the University of Sydney proved the nonexistence of this island when they tried to see the island for confirmation of its existence. The ship Velocity’s crew mistakenly identify the pumice rafts as an island. A volcanic activity formed the pumice rafts (floating rocks) and known to be seen or float in the supposed location where the island was previously claimed to be seen (1,400 meters or 4,600 ft deep).

The photo of the Berlin Wall Memorial showing poles where the wall once stood is a good illustration of the title for the trip. The Berlin Wall was the most dramatic symbolic representation of the Cold War division of Europe - an entire city divided down the middle by a wall. It was only in the tearing down of this wall that any sort of integration could begin in Europe. This picture does not show the historic wall though, only poles marking where it was. The division is still there, but the actual wall is nonexistent - one can simply walk through the poles. This shows the current state of European integration, where physical boundaries have been taken down, stronger non-physical boundaries still exist in the society and minds of individuals on both sides. You can now walk through the wall, but you cannot forget what the wall meant.
A very dry summer. The type of soil is sand, sandy loam and gravel, so even in a normal year my lawn dries and dies. This year parts of the lawn are nonexistent. This is, of course, not a problem to me because I keep expanding my xeric and prairie garden to take over the area where grass existed.

While immersed in an ocean of sorrows in St. Petersburg today I encountered the geese family, had a close encounter with a dolphin, and happened upon a cute little duckling with its mother.
While immersed in an ocean of sorrows today I happened to pass businesses in distress, empty homes, eroding sea walls, beaches disappearing under the rising seas, and the human species suffering its own terminal illness.
While immersed in an ocean of sorrows today I went up to Heaven and consoled God in His sorrows, travelled down to Hell to console Satan in his misery, and listening to the voice of a million gods singing their praise to Mother Nature, the owner of the Earth and presiding spirit governing humankind's fate.
While immersed in an ocean of sorrows today my soul expanded to fill the Universe and then it ceases to exist and in nonexistence it found immense relief and happiness.
When immersed in an ocean of sorrows today I found myself and in finding myself I found God. God above, God below, God existent, God nonexistent, God everywhere, and God nowhere.
God is the only true atheist in the Universe but how can God disbelieve in His own self?

Wow, the sky was lit tonight over the city! Breathtakingly beautiful... Rain may be nonexistent here but at least nature still provides these fiery sunset displays for us to enjoy! Pics taken from by the 900 McCarthy Blvd building around Milpitas, CA. This was just a minute or so away from my work. (Thursday around late sunset, December 3, 2020)
*“I watched the sunset last night. And given the utter brilliance of it, I likely sat in the company of thousands who found themselves awash in its blaze of colors as well. But sadly, it is just as likely that I was surrounded by thousands of others who never saw the colors because they were awash in lesser things. And I realized that far too often I am in the company of those people. Therefore, I’ll be sitting outside tonight.” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough.
There is truly a difference between December light and light from the Sun produced this time of year(Spring/Summer). December light produces a harsh angle, however it is that harsh angle passing through the quartz crystals on the surfaces of stones from this site that illuminate the images to a higher plateau, including the intensity of the light echo after the Winter Equinox peak. Colder temperatures and moisture levels (precipitation) are also an important factor illuminating specific pigment combinations and light echoes within and surrounding the stones on this ancient North American mound site.
I decided to focus on one of stones located on the highest precipice of the mound. It is virtually immovable because of its weight, so I need to be happy with what I have available to study. It was a cold rainy day in early December 2020, and I want to show you the comparison of the images that are visible on a cold rainy December day, in contrast to a warm day in early April three years later; the images and perception of the narrative truly changes from season to season during the course of an annual cycle.
I have mentioned many times regarding the organic component of the stones on this site. Colder and wet conditions clearly activate the organic components on these stones that appear to be nonexistent on a warm and high-sun Spring/Summer day.
I simply cannot explain this anomaly regarding the organic components, however I have learned that the stones and this mound only reveal its images based on its own singular timing, and never the timing of someone other than the mound itself.
The cement applications on the surface of this stone appear to remain consistent from year to year, even though they could potentially be the most fragile elements on the surface of this stone. What I am attempting to point out in this photo is the illusive organic component of images in the lower quadrant of this stone. The entire spectrum of images below the wavy serpentine galaxy line are normally hidden in plain sight with high-sun and warm temperatures; and it is the organic component-based images in the lower half of this stone that are the most curious.
The organic images on the lower left side of this stone appear to be completely related to specific celestial entity combinations not yet identified; perhaps the ring of at least seven celestial bodies are related to the Pleiades Constellation; however it is difficult to say for certain since we can only participate in an educated "Best Guess" scenario.
The grouping of celestial figures in the lower right is the most interesting, and perhaps the easiest to understand. These particular images appear to come from the People of Light and Color and most likely their celestial location of origin, as shown on many other stones from this site; this image field appears to explain how these three sub-cultures exist on a separate physical dimensional plane from our galaxy; thus explaining the serpentine symbol associated with many other similar image fields regarding this celestial sub-culture (The People of Light and Color), in addition of their ability to appear and disappear from the physical face of the stone depending on the weather and air temperature.
The largest symbol of this grouping is perhaps related to similar serpentine entities or portal symbols indicating an opening or entryway onto a separate dimension from where our Earth and Solar System is located; the mid-point region of the lower hypotenuse of the triangular pyramidal core structure of our galaxy.
The three elongated figures in the lower right appear to explain different individual groups within this celestial sub-culture identified as the People of Light and Color, and the center figure with a secondary outstretched arm with a smaller attached figural symbol with a crescent arch attached to its headdress perhaps defines a secondary sub-culture within a sub-culture?? ; This Triad grouping of figures perhaps explains three different sub-cultures associated with the People of Light and Color who collectively formed a union from their separate celestial regions of origin to participate in building the ancient Energy Grid mounds across our globe, and perhaps other celestial bodies; similar in theory to an international building company that participates in building similar structures in different continents across our globe. Each of these three sub-cultures are identified within this elongated grouping of symbols and each figural symbolic group bears separate and complex signature headdresses, most likely identifying the specific sub-cultures points of origin.
The most recognizable symbol in this entire image field is the largest primary figure in the center with the primary outstretched directional arm at the end of the serpentine transit line bearing the Moorish styled headdress.
I am now wondering if this outstretched arm figure of different variations relate to specific celestial transit passages; similar in theory to a " fork in the road" with two options of transit???
This figure with bearing the Moorish styled Dome in contrast to a Roman arched classical Dome is an important element in the pattern of figural images on this ancient mound site; this Moorish dome appears to be identified as an inclusive symbolic figural dome, most likely including all sub-cultures within a specific celestial transit pathway or similar point of origin, et al. (all, others).
Just something to think about when studying the different variations of this figure with the directional outstretched arm that we see so often in these celestial figures. I am also wondering if the row or line of four white celestial markings just following this primary figure is the actual number of four celestial sub-cultures who traveled together along this specific celestial transit serpentine passage route shown on this mound stone???

Exterior shots from the Timberline Lodge were used in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. According to IMDb, "The management of the Timberline requested that Stanley Kubrick not use 217 for a room number (as specified in the book), fearing that nobody would want to stay in that room ever again. Kubrick changed the script to use the nonexistent room number 237."

Ken Childs, on telling the difference, "To keep it simple I'm going to refer to the area between the 2 major lines as a bow tie. On implicata the center of the bow tie is much thinner than it is on laudabilis. Also the center of the bow tie is generally dark on implicata and lighter green on laudabilis. As with all moths, there are exceptions so you may occasionally find a laudabilis with dark scaling in the middle. Seeing all three together in the BG graphic helps but ignore the part about the orange and brown patches and the brown reniform because those marks are extremely variable or sometimes nonexistent. Something else I've noticed is that implicata has an overall cleaner look with less going on in the antimedial and subterminal areas." Look on BG for Ken's chart on the differences, too: bugguide.net/images/raw/XRJ/ZPR/XRJZPRYZMRTZIRJZIR3ZQRULX...
Lensbaby boredom @ work in the bathroom mirror. I was about to leave for the day, and went to the restroom. Figured I'd take a pic or four. Using a Lensbaby without the viewfinder is serious trial and error, since the lens tilts for selective focus, and the depth of field is almost nonexistent.

*"When the sun starts setting, it’s hard not to think about how amazing your bed would feel like after such a long day. You may have a few lingering thoughts about work, school, or about your business. That’s normal. You’ll probably start wondering if there’s anything you forgot to do today. You may also recount all the things that happened. Some memories will make you smile, while others will make you cringe in regret. The important thing now is that in a few moments, you will finally be able to lie against the familiar smell of your own pillows and sheets. Hopefully, you’ll dream good dreams after that...

Maintain the keystone
A rough cloth wiped on engraved rock
Build this house on midnight rides
and suicide
Sylvia plath's roommate
tried to check-out
tried to buy her way to a sensible world
with no-nonsense lead weights
52 white and round
-the menu for lunch
For dinner, they serve charcoal shakes
service in bed, and made her check-in.
Wipe the monolith that make skyscrapers dizzy
Drag the cloth, and pray for rain.
I tell time by the shadows
turning on the sundial of her face
Her expression scatters darkness, stops time
I put a quarter in my palm and say
tap it three times (hold out fist palm down)
One, two, three (open fist, and show that it's empty)
She says, "I've got a better trick."
The flowers wilt in the noontime sun
shaded by granite shadows
I talk to you, but there's no answer
I carry you in my arms
I become your nonexistent legs
and you, you are the wind that makes even the mountains cower.
I carry you and stagger
1 step, each day for the rest of my life
Can you count the cracks in the sidewalk?
How many seconds have passed since you were born?
Do you remember the first time you fell down,
the last time you woke up screaming?
(It's just a dream, go back to sleep)
I carry you and stagger
each step and then?
I walk and count each wave that crashes on the shore
I count each heartbeat since the day I was born:
(hold fist out, palm down, and count) 1, 2...
Haha, this is such a fake photo. The flowers are real, but I photoshopped the blue sky (because those are nonexistent in shanghai) and the lens flare. Funny how you can force a blue sky into a picture, yeah?
Rushing Through the Streets
This image was taken with the ProShoot app. When I initially took this picture I had it at a lower ISO and I thought it was too high, but then I decided to increase it because I liked how it made the sidewalk seem non existent. It added to the contrast between the people walking on the streets and the ground because they wore darkly colored clothing. I also felt that this conveyed a message and could be how other perceive New Yorkers. We're always rushing and in doing os we blur out everything around us and even the ground seems nonexistent when we're pounding the pavement and focused on a destination.
