In this blog I feature Carlton Fisk, Wally Backman, and Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd. I know that this is an odd bunch to put them together, but what bonds them are that their cards I am selling in a lot with many other cards.  Carlton Fisk  Carlton Fisk was a player from the 1970's and the 1980s. He played for the Boston Red Sox and then the Chicago White Sox. He was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2000.

The 10 pounds of gold of the NWA has shifted until up to recently where it made it reemergence with the NWA-TNA which is now Impact Wrestling and later the National Wrestling Alliance again in 2019. I know the story is confusing with the NWA belt, but this is the story of The Big Gold Belt which was the WCW Heavyweight Championship Belt. Also, better known as the Ric Flair Belt. He started with the belt in 1986. In the late 80's early 90's, Ric Flair battled with Sting and others and was the major champion of that belt which made it famous, but then Ric Flair left with the belt to the then WWF, now WWE proclaiming himself the "Real World's Champion." The New World Order Belt When The Big Gold Belt was known as the Ric Flair belt. It was also known as the nWo Belt with Hollywood Hulk Hogan . When Hogan turned heel, a wrestling term for bad guy, he won the

In 1980 USA Pulled an Upset Over Russia Can The US Do It Again? It was 42 years ago in 1980 with Jim Craig as Goalie saving puck after puck and Mike Eruzione leading the team in victory to the gold in the Lake Placid, NY Olympics. With a feat so great conquering their enemies on ice of the Soviet Union. It had Al Michaels say, "Do you believe in Miracles?"  Well Do you believe in Miracles again?

However, when it comes to battles and wars we overcome as underdogs and we surprise the world a
