“ Amazing!! ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ My brothers used to build the Revell warships, planes, tanks, and sports cars. I never had the patience or the hand skills to do them. Never knew there was a trading card set about these things. ” -bpaul14

“ As a kid (mid-70s, not 1960 like this card) I had a Revell model of an aircraft carrier that looked a lot like this one. I didn't realize Revell had a card set(s?) back in the day, too. Neat! ” -kents_stuff

“ Awesome! I used to build Revell models when I was a kid. ” -cjjt

“ Ok. If I were to expand beyond baseball cards, well it would be a disaster, but this might be the set I start with. I love warships and this is a beautiful card. It even has stats on the back. ” -Vvvergeer

OK how did I miss commenting on this one? Excellent Non-Sport Military card.

For this one I think I truely missed it and didn't comment on it when it came up. There are other times that I know I had commented on a card and did it during the day and not last minute round midnight (of whatever time zone the deadline is in). Those latter times make me scratch my head, the former is just me being an absentminded bonehead.

The card of the day resets at 1 am eastern time,for what it's worth.

Building models, many of them Revell, but not ships, is what I'm doing now instead of spending time on here. Right now is one of my most productive and fun times I've had in my entire 21 year modeling career. I'm going to keep it going as long as I can...time is running short as it will soon be too cold to paint outside, which is where I do it.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
